Certainly they would. Of course they would. :)

Personally, I haven't seen BJII but the first film implied the same things, didn't it? Although I guess that was more about choosing the good guy instead of the attractive bad guy, but still, BJ's entire self image was based on how men liked her and how attractive or not attractive she might be to them, specifically. IMO, she was never a paradigm of feminist ideals. *g*

I still love the first film, tho. And I don't care what Colin Firth is in, I'll love him and watch him in it. Repeatedly. I watched What A Girl Wants, fer heaven sakes, and I liked it. *hangs head*
