I think it's a great idea to promote movies portraying women as capable of toxic behaviour just like men. Storytelling communicates the message on an emotional level that rational argument may not reach.

Gone Girl is really the perfect example of this. More than any of the other films suggested in this thread, watch Gone Girl. The female villain very deliberately exploits misandrist stereotypes to frame her husband for her faked death. Be aware it's a mystery with a twist, so don't tell your girlfriend "This is going to be about toxic femininity." Present it as "This is a mystery story", and you can discuss the themes afterward.

Some other suggestions:

A Simple Favor (another mystery, similar to Gone Girl but more lighthearted)
Atonement (a girl jumps to conclusions about a man abusing a woman and it leads to tragedy)
Disclosure (about female-on-male sexual harassment)
Intolerable Cruelty (comedy about gold digging and divorce courts, if you ignore the tacked-on "romantic happy ending")
Liar Liar (comedy about a lawyer who cannot lie for 24 hours – though the titular liar is male, he's lying on behalf of a woman in a custody case)
The Librarians (comedy TV show with an unsympathetic conservative female protagonist)
Mean Girls (about girl-on-girl school bullying, showcasing some of the same manipulation tactics that toxic women use against men)
EDITED TO ADD: Men Don't Tell (based on a true story of a battered husband disbelieved by the police)
Play Misty for Me (about a female stalker)
To Kill A Mockingbird (classic film involving a false rape accusation, though it focuses on racism rather than misandry)
Unforgettable (a female stalker sics a male stalker on her rival)

Fatal Attraction

Body Heat

Anything with Madonna in it

Watch ‘TAR’- female performance at the centre. It’s a nuanced approach to power structure and how it can corrupt everyone regardless of gender.

For most of the movies everyone has listed, you can look up all those titles for free on either YouTube or Look Movies as I listed.

Since the movies on YouTube have commercials, if you download the brave web browser for free, you can eliminate the commercials. Some you tube movies you're forced to watch if it doesn't work on the brave browser.

Video games are the absolute worst. Every female in every game ALL women are gods among men, youll have men with every nagative trait from cowardly, to evil but women are all strong badasses. Its so fucking cringe. The side quests in hogwarts legacy are all females talking about how heroic another female is. Like once or twice i was like, ok, but like 10 in a row was just to much

What surprises me is more than half of all lifetime movies have insane women as the antagonist.

My wife watches it.

Why? Focus on yourself mate. You’re taking the wrong approach to being a man if you’re hunting out evidence of women being toxic.

Visible-Egg8258 · 2023-02-19T10:14:05+00:00

Any recent MCU project. Though they don’t realize it themselves

Bocephus_Clegane · 2023-02-19T18:12:36+00:00

Titanic

Alarming_Draw · 2023-02-19T18:15:05+00:00

Older one-a true story-about a real female actress, one of the most famous ever, who abused her kids.

"Mommie Dearest (1981)"

Ronniebbb · 2023-02-19T22:11:27+00:00

Mommy dearest, there was this French film where this dad with kids remarried and the step mom is the worst bitch.... , ill say the remake of Charlie's angels, that bitch from the latest fast and furious, ohhhh bridesmaids!

Space-Booties · 2023-02-20T00:11:18+00:00

Probably anything recently written or directed by Mindy Kaling.

calmly86 · 2023-02-20T07:17:36+00:00

Tyler Perry’s ‘Temptation.’

It does do right by the good man though.
