ResumoThis paper discusses the representation of women in five comedy films and the absence of women in the scientific field; these films were used as subsidies for a study case used in support of Deontology teaching. The films selected for this case study were: “Monkey Business” (1952); “The Nutty Professor” (1963); “Junior” (1994); “The Nutty Professor” (1996) and “Senseless” (1998). The films were centered around experiments with therapeutic substances, in which the scientist responsible for the research was always a man. When the resolution of the case study was presented to students, even though most of them were women, they did not realize this situation except when they were made aware of it. This shows that even potential scientists perceive the underrepresentation of women in science as natural. The feminist concept within film critique, called “Male gaze,” and other references for techno-scientific relations were used as a basis for the debate. The analysis of the films showed that although they have been produced within a timeframe of 46 years, women were still portrayed as passive and were excluded from important positions by hierarchization and oppression mechanisms. Thus, comedy films can contribute to humanistic education, which is a goal of the current National Curriculum Guidelines for Pharmacy, particularly focused on making students aware that drug development is also a role to be played by women pharmacists.
