Tootsie (1982)

Tootsie‘s was a beloved film and just one of the many memorable roles of leading man Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman’s character is known for his difficult attitude in the showbiz world and ends up disguising himself as a woman to get a role in a soap opera. 

Even as satire, a man dressing up like a woman for a woman’s role would not mesh well with today’s ongoing conversation about the equality of women in the workplace.
