New Lizzie Borden movie - "...when the grisly murder scene does arrive, it feels like such a freeing feminist triumph that you’re tempted to stand up and cheer"

Suspected murderer now a feminist hero?

It’s a stunning sequence, a feminist revenge murder for the books and a cathartic assault on the sexist system Lizzie and Bridget refuse to tolerate any longer. As a whole, the movie may not be perfect—its lifelessness can feel, at moments, as oppressive as the 19th century patriarchy—but don’t worry: Lizzie shows us all how to escape.

Feminists are sick people. They really are. In the near future they will be perceived in the same way we now perceive racists. I think it's going to happen much more quickly than most realize.

They turned Tonya Harding, Elizabeth Holmes and Aileen Wuornos into feminist icons as well. If you’re shedding your moral credibility, you may as well go all the way.

So...this is just another reason for me to NOT go to the movies?

Now, why the hell would this woman have such a negative attitude towards men...

All the empathy of a teenager.
