I was all for that! I even shared my story of how my innocence was taken from me as a young boy. I was full-on supportive of that motivation. But then it escalated to the point of dehumanizing and demoralizing men just because they're men. It sought to destroy their masculinity and destroy their role in society as well as in the home.

Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton openly _despised_ men, were very politically powerful, and generally known to be a miserable old ladies at the time. They were the modern equivalent of Hillary Clinton, Kathleen Kennedy, or Kamala Harris, and they most definitely never cared about other women, let alone men or "gender equality."

The first Marvel Comics Captain Marvel, was an alien, Mar-vell. He had a human female sidekick/[protégé, Miss Marvel (Carol Danvers.) The irony is 90s Carol Danvers is literally everything the modern version and Brie Larson are not: Feminine, positive, kind, bad-ass, and actually _heroic._ Mar-vell Captain Marvel then retired or died, and Carol Danvers got "promoted" to being Captain Marvel in the 2000s, and in the 2010s, turned into the androgynous, flat-chested, short-haired, lesbian man-hater we all know her as today. Rogue from X-Men stole her powers, but then they revived her to be the woke icon of modern woke Marvel Comics. Then, Kamala Khan stole the name of "Miss Marvel" since Carol Danvers was no longer using it. There's also Monica Rambeau Captain Marvel, but that's a whole other story. The point is, there isn't a single original thing about Carol Danvers Captain Marvel and she stole everything about her from someone/something else.

I'd contrast that with Wonder Woman. It didn't make the men subservient. They were broken down, but it exhibited something resembling compassion. The male characters were independently heroic. It still had feminist threads but didn't come across as if it wanted to spit in the face of half its audience. The sequel (which sucked) was still genial. The antagonist had something resembling redemption and, if memory serves, the random guy whose body was stolen was played as a nice guy. It was still kindly. I don't know if they decided on some ethic or whether it's just Patty Jenkins. But if it's Patty Jenkins, then there's some fragment of the director's soul in the story. That seems preferable to Marvel's bizarre cookie cutter feminist top dog thing.

The stereotype of the beaten and abused husband at the hands of a domineering wife can be found in some of the earliest written plays thousands of years ago, and is likely older even than that. There are likewise endless examples of women who succeeded, even to be the best in the world at what they did which can be found in history (queen Tomyris and Hypatia of Alexandria being two of my favourites), so the narrative that women were always oppressed slaves is just as false. Yes, there were absolutely times and places were the law did not favour women or certain opportunities were denied to them... we can agree that those were JUST as wrong as the law not favouring men and opportunities being presently denied to men as well.

What's funny / sad about these characters is that there's no thought put into them. They all share a very similar personality: stoic, hard shelled but witty, extremely capable beyond a spec of doubt, brave, protect their female friends at all costs, tired of men stepping onto their toes, broken past.

They're women so they automatically know absolutely everything and can do everything without being taught or practicing a day in their life, no lessons to be learned because they already know all. What makes characters likeable is seeing who they once were, and their struggles to become better, their failures that they learn from, all while not acting superior and narcissistic at the same time... something all these new "strong female" characters lack.

I think another issue here is Zegler's Snow White. The audience is supposed to feel good that Snow doesn't dream about falling in love, she isn't waiting for her prince to come, she's all about what she can do with her power as queen. Aside from this being the motivation of a meglomaniacal tyrant, and something Simba has to actively grow out of in Lion King before he is fit to be king, the message is this: "Ladies, how dare you have aspirations outside of your careers?

They killed off romcoms and basically shamed every piece of media women liked organically. And if that wasn't enough, there's a mass brainwashing campaign that equates common female traits to weaknesses. Even something like a Cheetah Girls song had a bunch of little girls like me singing how we don't want to be like Cinderella, sitting in a dark old dusty cellar waiting for someone to come set us free. We're supposed to "rescue" ourselves. For an underage abuse victim-in a place where both historically and now, that had/has women or girls without family who are poor and unlucky to find themselves on the streets are doomed for a life of prostitution-we were told she was weak and stupid for not "saving herself" and running headfirst into that. And she wasn't even waiting for a Prince either. So if you're at a low point and someone happens to help you out you're weak, if you're female. That's why even the mentor characters for those repulsive "strong" women can't be actual mentors because only weak people need help. 😢

I work in a hospitlaity, I'm a 36 year old male and I see these kids coming to work in the industry, fresh out of school raised on their diet of Tik Tok and gender studies and the real world hits them like a ton of bricks, also when they come face to face with me, an actual man who is in charge of them telling them what to do, they're unsure how to deal with it. Some change their mindset and often end up becoming very good at their job, most drop out because they can't handle it. I really am worried/interested in what's going to happen over the next few decades having entire generations of kids now that are not taught even the most basic elements of hard work or real life.

Because, and no one wants to admit it, Japan is an extraordinarily socially conservative country with a largely homogenous population. Japanese culture recognizes and reinforces the inherent differences between men and women, and how they can complement each other in interpersonal relations. Japan has arguably the single strongest family structure out of any modernized nation. That is the bedrock of a successful society. Meanwhile in the West, we don’t even know what a woman is.

Great video. I'm so thankful I married my wife 15 years ago. I would imagine dating in this modern society would be an absolute nightmare.

This is academic feminism airing out its traumas. Not in order to heal, not to get over them. Just forever, over and over again.

I can't imagine what modern young boys feel after watching today's movies. Remember, kids and teenagers are the main audience for most Hollywood products. These boys haven't done anything wrong; they're not misogynistic. Yet, they grow up feeling that they're bad just for being male, torn between their natural desires and the image media projects onto them. I'm grateful to have grown up on '90s and '00s cinema. When men in 2010s movies became more emotional, nuanced, and began to express feminine traits, I found it refreshing-because I share those traits, as do most men. However, this has evolved to a point where men are no longer portrayed as balanced, but rather as weak and sidelined. In the end, such portrayals are toxic to both men and women. It's up to us to boycott and speak out against this unhealthy content. I hope more people will recognize these movies for what they are and stop viewing their characters as role models.

The problem is that women think men are the embodiment of that one toxic boyfriend or the high school bad boy who broke their hearts and their portrayal of what would they do to that person lead to these sad characters. Their bedroom daydreaming became a character and is spoiling the whole industry despite others yelling that very those toxic traits are bad. But nooooo, women are now these, my way or the highway. You cannot have an unchallenged life like the very bad boy you think he has. Come on man!

The scene in One Piece when Zoro's friend tells him "no woman will ever beat a man" got me gasping in shock. The statement was of course not entirely true (the show provides context of course) but I was shocked because I haven't heard a woman admitting to actually have a weakness in ages.

Women are the wisdoms the people who keep the history care for the children fight when they have to. There is the men's Circle in The Women's Circle two circles that are separated but do come together. When it's necessary nobody belittles the women no one belittles the men they both work together.

The entirety of Wheel of Time is a Matriarchal society, thanks to the male magic users eventually going insane thanks to the greater villain, leaving only the female magic users to recreate the destroyed societies. However, even in the countries where the female dominance is most blatant, the women, even the warriors, are still feminine and the men masculine. The books are almost a deconstruction on the idea that a female dominated society would automatically be a utopia because it points out that petty power struggles are not inherently male traits.

The longer this goes on the more I don't think I understand anything they are trying to accomplish. I think your title almost nails it. Right off the bat you mention, "women good, men bad" and that kind of hits home with how I have been understanding these recent releases. And its so weird as it almost feels like a backlash. Like its a pendulum swing from a non existent era of movies where women bad and men good or something. All the while they entirely forget about all the bad ass women in movies prior who were much more naturally thrust into that position of needing to be bad asses and did so with a level of understanding which still made sense. Now instead of doing so, it feels more like they are just making women... well... men. It utterly ignores all of things that make women great while simultaneously applying traits to them that for the last decade has been rammed down our throats as being toxic to begin with. They consistently make characters that instead of playing into their strengths, they lean into their weaknesses. And then they act shocked when everyone can see it a mile away and don't go to see it.

The strongest force in the universe is a mother. She will defend her offspring universally to the death. Yet it’s omitted. It’s mind boggling

When is the last time a fantasy franchise had a traditionally feminine character that everyone loved? The loving and protective mothers and wise grandmother characters that people can actually relate to… They are completely missing. Also, love and romance is gone. Every female character has to be ambiguously asexual and “devoted to the cause”. They seem to forget that characters become devoted to a cause out of a desire to protect their loved ones, which also provides gripping conflict

And this is why the majority of the stuff I watch are films from the golden era of Hollywood.

You make a great point. It’s interesting that Hollywood has created men that needs women to tell them what to do and how to be, and this is the very thing that is causing strife in a lot of marriages. Women are often frustrated because their man doesn’t “help.” Women don’t want to be in charge of everything. They want to complement men with their unique traits.

I find it ironic, all this hatred for the so called patriarchy which has created so much freedom and financial opportunity for women that for some magical reason needs to be destroyed.

What annoys me most about female empowerment characters is that the only way to empower a woman is to make her like a man, when it should be all the female traits that set her apart and make her a character worth supporting, not just another man's attitude but from a woman's angle.
