Can’t tell you how many shows I’ve started watching lately (and turned off) that portray men as weak, stupid, and inferior to women. The latest was Jett on Cinemax. The only men who are strong role models in that show, like many others, are those who follow the advice of the strong female lead.
Since the failed The Last Jedi, which revealed Kathleen Kennedy’s failed attempt to remake the Star Wars series into a woke propaganda tool, this agenda has become more and more obvious. Oftentimes, it’s male writers, producers, and directors who are complicit in generating these stereotypes.
It’s becoming more and more clear that Hollywood has it out for white males, whom they see as all Trump-supporting, gun-toting, confederate flag waving truck drivers who have to be humiliated Into submission. If you fit into this category, you have to be reprogrammed. If you don’t, what, you’re assumed to buy into the stereotype? Or, at least the need to reprogram men through any means necessary.
At this point, men who don’t fight against this agenda are complicit in it. Liberal men, who have fought to support equal rights for all, have been thrown under the bus by this culture. It has become an agenda that says, women are smarter and more moral than men. They should take over control of society, so that everyone (except men) can be treated equally.
Historically, Hollywood has portrayed women as weak and subservient to men. Changing that for the better, should mean treating everyone fairly, not just flipping the script.

Are you sure? I've seen some movies and TV shows do this sure, but they are usually oriented towards women, which is... fine? thats just female movies for females for the most part. You mention star wars but even that has strong male characters both good and bad, and the other big franchises out there like fast and furious, marvel, DC, strong men all around. I mean if you type in 'big movies 2019', none of them that I have seen or know quite a bit about seem to have that problem either.
Let the girls have their charlies angels, they bomb anyways.

Something is eithwr worth its investment or not. Whether or not they dominate comea down to money and this is an experimental era. I'm not saying that this doesnt happen, I clearly said it does, but go look at the vast majority of movies and its strong men. Keep in mind that feminist story also is not the same as a story that makes men look weak.

The OA, The Dark Crystal, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (As evil often, but even the villains are strong, in addition to the good men, who end up saving the day when sabrina can't) supergirl, even the recent feminist version of the terminator had its men being strong, the hunger games (peta was weak, but gale was not, it was a concept of class). And thats just stuff from the last few years and off the top of my head. I'm totally aware that many feminist films show men acting stupid and weak, but there's also plenty that don't, and plenty of male oriented films that show women acting absolutely useless and such. To say the 'standard' is showing men as weak and stupid when so many of our films are actively glorifying modern versions of the macho male badass is a bit silly. We've got so many fucking super heroes and their all ripped chads who save the earth while not having to have that old fashioned grit to them, and then we have the DC heroes who are also ripped chads but do have that grit to them, and then we have Chris pratt as our new action hero in jurassic world, we have james bond still being a male badass even in the recent film which introduces a black female 007, it just isn't the issue you think it is. An annoying and pandering trope, sure, but to say its standardized is pretty silly.
