Are these the REAL Independent Women? Maybe they got it right this time...

I was just watching Destiny's Child strutting their stuff, claiming to be "Independent Women" but were they really?

What I saw was some very attractive young women prancing about in gold bikinis, or suchlike, basically selling their assets all the while claiming to be "independent". The video was interspersed with the now aging former stars of the film doing likewise.

Well that doesn't seem very "independent" to me. It looks like they are unwitting archetypal slaves to our sick patriarchal society.

So ok maybe nobody went to see this god awful movie but perhaps by casting unattractive ladies, without any notable assets to "sell", these were the more authentic "independent" women?

... Or who knows - maybe it simply didn't go far enough. I notice that none of these ladies were transgender. Perhaps that should have been considered to up the stakes in a franchise which already had a whiff of proto-wokeness about it. Would that have got more bums on seats?

I agree, they should have been transgender furries with autism, the 2020s are at the door after all.

Plus, if you really think about it, transgender women are the only women born without a womb and therefore not genetically predisposed to being enslaved to the patriarchy.

They are the only women capable of being True independent women. Therefore perhaps this reboot should have featured not one but all three as unattractive transgender women in order for this to have been a huge box office smash.
