laurel and hardy - how would you define the women in these films?

[DVTimes]

The thing I found of huge interest in the laurel and hardy films that I have never seen in any other film was how the women acted.

But I have never known how to define them.

Were they dominatrix or what?

They used to fascinate me.

Those two were fags so all the women they hang around with were fag hags.
