X-Women?

In today's era of #MeTwat, GrrlPwr and sistahs doing it for themselves its actually expected to see this shaite

Yeah that took me right out of the film when Mystique of all characters said that.

"The women are always saving the men"

Could not be further from the truth. Heck even in Dark Phoenix, Professor X is the one who saves Jean Gray from turning into an evil alien-influenced world destroyer.

that line was pathetic.

Depends. She struggles with the school and Charles leadership. She wanted to leave and was generally not happy there - felt under-appreciated, it seemed. And when the gang she leads is specifically called ”men”, her comment made sense and that very moment all things considered.

Oh good fuck! “Man” is a synonym for “human,” as all educated people know. It is NOT necessarily specific to the human male gender, which is why “he” is the universal human pronoun. You all know that I write “s/he” and “her/his” out of respect for gender equality, but there is a point where alleged equality becomes silly. “Woman” has NEVER been a universal pronoun. It is gender-specific and excludes males. “X-Wo/Men” is just plain stupid and awkward. I agree with the OP. A lot of folks need to pull the self-righteous stick out of their collective ass.

I muted it and enjoyed how well Jennifer Lawrence filled out the costume in that scene.
