Feminist double standard


Movies about shallow d-bag men and the damage they cause to women are revered in glory.

Movies about shallow bitchy women and the damage they cause to men are mysoginistic.

Jerks.

Not quite. They usually show that as a funny character flaw that they overcome by the end of the movie. That's still bad, but not as bad.

Never thought I would see a thread about feminists here.

There's always someone ready to blame women for something.

"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll just...assume the worst."

This is not the only feminist thread here.

Are you talking to me?

"What race are you? If you don't tell me I'll just...assume the worst."

No, the poster before you. He said he never thought he would see a feminist topic here.

Who are you calling out?

I thought this movie did a good job in showing that most men work very hard but are not good with words. A lot of women have needs and do not think they are being heard.
That is all true.

Ellis father clearly loves his mother. There was a breakdown in communication along the way. They stopped learning each other.

May Pearl was awful tease and much like most primped teens her age.

Ellis got his heart broken for the first time, not the last.

Juniper is damaged.

I didn't think it was misogynistic at all. I thought the movie was very understanding of all its characters, the men and the women, and the story was ultimately a very hopeful and kind one.

Out of curiosity, though, what glorified movies about d-bag men doing damage to women did you have in mind when you wrote this?

That would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus two plus one plus one.

Your thread makes as much sense as Donald Trump being the president of the most powerful nation on Earth. Try again with your false equivalence.
