And she still got everything she wanted in the end while everyone else got screwed over! And kids, the moral of the story is, don't ever trust those woke women/SJWs/crazy feminists who talk about the glass ceiling and pay gap because they'll definitely screw you over while society rewards them! It's not even subtle about its underlying incel-lite message. And if you read the other comments here, it's very clearly working.

Decided to consider the sociopolitical implications of a "promposal" on a lark. Perhaps the idea is that because there's an expectation of guys asking girls out for prom, Mandy's suggesting that the girls being asked out are seen as prizes to be won over while the guys doing the asking out are having their social standing decided by whether or not they can succeed at finding a partner for the local promenade?... Obviously though, I think the actual answer is that the writers don't know how to write for a feminist character, and had her spout random buzzwords that don't connect with each other at the start of the movie to showcase her eventual turnaround by the end of the movie.

Two popular movies. Legally blonde and Mean girls. Both the many leads were polar opposites. One that loved all things pretty and pink, the other a total tom boy, they try to change who they are but realized that won't make them happy and go back to what they like. Both characters are strong female leads! Why does Hollywood seriously think that THIS female lead character in this movie would make me feel a connection to her? The whole review I thought, no wonder you only have one friend! Why would I wanna be around someone that is so bitter about everything!

Ikr. I loveeeee Elle. She's not "not like other girls", she's feminine and girly and loves pink and has a tiny chihuahua. She appears like a clueless bimbo. But she's got healthy ambition and works hard. She's intelligent and uses her interests other people dismiss as trivial or silly to solve issues. Love my autistic girly queen. Imo it's a truly feminist film. It empowers women without putting them into a box and doesn't have to put down men to do it. Kadie is more of the not like other girls trope but not too obnoxiously so. I love both movies.

To all the younglings on here: don't worry if your high school days haven't been the best. There is nothing sadder than being an adult who peaked in high school. I've met grown ass people who talk about nothing but their teenage years because it's been nothing but downhill since then for them, and that's honestly depressing. You got plenty of time (and much more freedom) to live your best life once school is over! I spent most of high school stressing because I wasn't doing all the cool things I saw teens do on TV, and was convinced that once school was over I'd be condemned to 50+ years of boring adult work and no play. My uni years weren't all that exciting, either. Wasn't until after I landed my first job that things really picked up! Financial independence; my own place; a new social network of colleagues; personal freedom! I'm in my late 30s and whenever my young nieces and nephews fret over school woes I assure them that while their education is important, school life itself is no indicator of social worth, and that they're gonna get the best out of life once they go out into the world.

Well, at the end of the days it's Money. Disney isn't like Hulu or Netflix in that they can afford to show the world realistically. All these characters literally live IN A DISNEY WORLD, removed from all the real people of the real world and their problems. Essentially, real representation isn't gonna make them money. I mean, look at Lightyear, aside from being a dogshit story, the main controversial thing about that movie was a lesbian relationship that lasted all of 30 seconds. In reality it wasn't that big a deal to us normal folks, but in the showbusiness world, that shit A) Forced Disney to do a lot of PR against trolls and B) Cost them millions of dollars on what should've been a slam-dunk film. I mean Pixar made it, it's tied into Toy Story, and it had Chris Evans, that should've made $500 million easy in Disney's eyes. Instead it bombed. You can see how from Disney's perspective, how including LGBTQ characters doesn't align to strong sales. It's all well and good to want and need representation, but at the end of the day, Moneymakers don't care what you and I want or need, they want and need their money back. So until a time comes that the MAJORITY of Disney's incredibly large audience (this includes literally millions of Chinese people as well, in a government where LGBTQ representatation is practically a crime) decides that having real representation in the films is not only "ok" but profitable, it's not gonna happen. As with most things in Capitalism, it's not about the content of what's being made, it's about the money it'll make afterward. And that's just the simple truth

Like seriously what is with you people that you have to bitch about certain things that you honestly know nothing about like oh they're into child labor and they have people that aren't getting paid enough. Listen I have this one thing to say did you ever think that the people just love their job and that's why they aren't wasting time bitching and moaning and groaning about this and that. Hell we all know that if it was really a severe harsh condition all of the people would have Disney on the TV and they would be on strike for fucking ever . Or until they got what they wanted. Like literally you can't have slaves in America no matter which state and with the internet trust me everyone everywhere would be at Disney saying racist AF or something besides just having fun at Disney world. Like seriously you people can have all of your little conspiracy theories all you want but at least those people aren't like you white people who bitch and moan and groan about everything you can bitch about. Literally Disney tries it's best to be inclusive and no matter what Disney gets shit on by you retards. If I was them I'd say fuck it and put out what I want too.
