This is the most hilarious thing I have ever read! Even before you mentioned the Stepford Wives, I made the connection myself. My dad and I watched that movie several years ago, and it really stuck with me. A lot of people now misunderstand the film as a misogynist's fantasy and hate it for that reason. I, however, see it as a cautionary tale. The film's source material, a novel of the same name by Jewish American author Ira Levin (Who also, interestingly, wrote The Boys from Brazil,) is much in the same line - although the film departs from it slightly with regard to the ending. Overall, the message is the same - and it's not a happy message.
