Groundhog Day (1993) – Slapped

Filmmakers rarely show audiences women responding assertively to inappropriate behaviour from men. In this scene from Groundhog Day (1993) Andie MacDowell spurns Bill Murray’s advances (she slaps him when he attempts to kiss her without obtaining consent). The screenplay was written by two men (Danny Rubin, Harold Ramis), who clearly demonstrate in this scene that this is how men expect women to treat them when they behave inappropriately.
