When we watch movies with our sons, we often hear things like, "...aaand here comes the female character who's good at everything and will save the day!"

Even kids can see through the b.s. They know what's up.

I once had a conversation with a feminist who wrote for the TV show "Xena the Warrior Princess". She said they were specifically trying to bury the Hercules story and appeal to the hard core feminist misandrists. She didn't use that word as it hadn't been in common usage back then.

They know what they are doing. It's brain washing.

Remember when Kathleen Kennedy wore a shirt to a press conference reading “The force is a Woman”?

That’s when I knew I could take or leave anything LucasFilms put out.

The only reason the Mandolorian was solid was because Kennedy had nothing to do with it.

But your claim up top I can’t support. Iron Man / Captain America / (until recently) Thor we’re all male-focused movies.

Guardians was on the fence as they made the male lead a bumbling idiot so it barely counts.

I miss strong female characters that were strong because of their personalities. Their experiences. Their transformations under pressure. Not MarySue’s like Daisey Ridley’s Ray. Daisey herself is a good actress. The character they created was garbage.

the worst thing is that said woman, will be a hot woman. Make it all woman, i dont care... But still hot woman?? really? Are we still satisfying the need for.them to remain hot while at the same time claiming to call ourselves feminist?

Holy shit. I know. I love space and Amazon has this show about the beginnings of the space race from an alternate reality where Russia beat us to the moon. They were dominating the space race. THEN women came along and fixed everything. I couldn’t watch it, it was so fucking stupid.

Seeing all these negative comments, can take a moment to appreciate all the actually cool women in films? As a guy, the characters that normally come to mind when someone talks about "strong female characters" or whatever are:

Wonder Woman

Katness Everdeen (Hunger Games)

Tris (Divergent)

Princess Leia (Star Wars)

Padme (also Star Wars)

Sarah Conner (Terminator)

And probably more! Sorry if I went off topic because I probably did, but what I'm trying to say is: There is more to things than just the bad parts!

See this is why im glad i like anime. Lot of animes where a woman is the main character, lot of animes where a man is the main character. No matter what you're looking for, animes got your back.

I am not too good at movies but i read a lot (some 60 books per year) and yes- the same situation. Female characters are so, so, so "cool" - they know better, they fight inequality, the fight stronger men and win all the time.

But the funny thing about it is that still they need to keep male characters down to make female character higher. There are books where they have equilibrium among bad-good man-woman etc, but there are older books. The modern books are made like "SHE IS COOL! HE IS MISERABLE" and it doesn't matter if male character is antagonist or protagonist.

Another funny thing is that when these "authoresses" want to create "brutally cool female character" they just take male character and transfer his qualities to female. Usually qualities i could call bad like being rude, follow no hierarchy at work, humiliating ppl around, having drinking or drug problems. inability to keep normal human reactions.

Even when I was a kid, I noticed that the more someone watched TV, the less drive and intelligence they had. Far from being a source of information, it seemed to me that the more TV people watched, the more they were ill-informed about the world.

With the current, very obvious, media agendas, it is clear that people who consume it are taking on board ideas they accept as fact as a result of entertainment. They cannot defend these ideas and will spit back at anyone who challenges them to "google it yourself." Paradoxically, they regard anyone who doesn't know (insert woke belief), as being ignorant.

It is not my responsibility to educate such people, but the nonsense they have absorbed is likely to harm them. They may be the men who believe in feminism until the divorce industry takes the shirts of their backs.

Mastercontrolop · 2022-07-16T22:35:53+00:00

There is literally no movies or shows where the lead woman is not an actress? Are you insane???

Number one movie in the world: top Gun

Best show on tv: Better Call Saul.

I have noticed the increasing feminisation of movies and TV programs too, which is disappointing, but it has sent me back to watching older material that is much better. Most of the new animated programs seem to have female leads.

Fortunately we are not (yet) being forced to watch new gynocentric material and there are other options, unless you happen to have a partner who requires you to watch programs with her and you daren't refuse for activating emotions that will mean sex is off the agenda for some time. Perhaps it might even get men looking into more active or educational options than passively absorbing entertainment. I just love documentaries, history and "how they built it" programs.

zincholo · 2022-07-16T16:17:04+00:00

Exactly bro and thats why i am pissed, and its not just the tv show you couldny watch, its literally every movie and tv series, i have been trying to find a tv series that i could watch without the feminist agenda in it and there is literally f***ing show that i could watch every space tv show that i can remwmber is all about woman even the most famous legendary tv shows have turned into woman tv show with their original male lead characters replaced by woman.

Any genre that can possibly exist is all filled by feminists. Woman are strong men are weak, men destroy woman save. Men are stay at home dads and mommy is out killing zombies.

I mean they are so blunt that they dont even take a pinch from reality

Atypical on Netflix shows Elsa cheating on her husband because he made an insensitive comment. Then she tries to go to therapy and say she “learned” from the experience. These shows are getting out of hand.

Azihayya · 2022-07-16T19:21:49+00:00

I dunno man, I don't have a problem with the representation I'm seeing, and I don't have a problem with counter-culture emerging against the entitlements that men have lived with throughout the 20th century. I don't watch T.V. or see new movies, but I just took a look at what's playing in theaters and didn't see anything indicative of the theme you're suggesting; pretty much all of these films have a male protagonist and are clearly marketed to boys or men.

TruerDetective7 · 2022-07-16T13:03:01+00:00

There are many many shows and movies about men. You can't be looking that hard.

Right now I'm watching Ozarks, the boys, umbrella academy, and obi wan.

Each one the main character you're supposed to root for is a boy.

Stop looking for reasons to be offended and you'll stop finding them.

UnfurtletDawn · 2022-07-16T17:49:42+00:00

Nah this is amazing opportunity for countries outside of US to make it big.

Movies form my country are still good. I think you would be able to find some with eng subs ;)

if you don’t like it, don’t watch it, don’t pay for it. Plenty of stuff on YouTube or TikTok and plenty of books to read. I don’t own a TV. When I said the same things to my parents four years ago they ignored it, now they watch TV with an Amazon firestick and watch shows on YouTube. They don’t watch Terrestrial TV or streaming networks either.
