Monstrous Regiment: The Movie!

Left this note:
Sirs,

There appears to be an error in the naming of your movie. You claim you named it after the essay by John Knox, but that essay was titled "The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regimen of Women", where regimen is a regime or government. You have used the word 'regiment', or military group, and by doing so referenced a fantasy novel by the satirist Terry Pratchett. Was this at all deliberate?

feminism, humour
