recently there's been quite a surge in
the representation of women across all
media like movies and tv shows including
women at the helm of decades-old
franchises even taking over roles that
are traditionally held by men and
honestly fans have loved it while it is
a big change for everyone everyone has
respected the change and shown up in
droves to support these new female
heroes no i'm just kidding everyone
hates it and everyone is really damn
pissed about it and the reviews and box
office numbers are just as bad as people
say no matter how much rotten tomatoes
tries to convince us otherwise but why
well it's probably because everybody
hates women nope that's not why it turns
out 50 of the population is female and
you know what they're not going to see
these movies or supporting these tv
shows either is it because women hate
women
no it's because these movies and tv
shows are spoiler alert really bad and
that's what we're going to talk about
today the problem with the modern and
very woke representation of women now
speaking as a woman of brownish color i
have to say that i don't really see
myself connecting with the new batwoman
ray skywalker the new female doctor the
new mulan captain marvel the charlie's
angels harley quinn and especially not
commander holdo or as i like to call her
purple hair lady from star wars i just
don't like any of these characters so
stick to your post
and follow my orders oh god especially
not commander holdo no no when i think
of incredible badass women i think of
black widow or rita vertasky from edge
of tomorrow and zoe from firefly i think
of eowyn taking down the witch king of
agmar in lord of the rings
and wonder woman walking into no man's
land this scene just gives me goosebumps
the reason i absolutely love these
characters is because their ability is
apparent but also understated their
gender is never brought up as a
justification excuse or any sort of
complaint they're fully aware of their
strengths and weaknesses and use other
people's perceptions of their gender to
their advantage like when natasha
romanov lets russian gangsters think
that they have her overpowered when
really she can easily break out whenever
she wants
i like that these women fight for higher
callings than themselves they fight for
peace or for justice ultimate goal isn't
their own glory but the triumph of good
over evil i'm a soldier
i volunteered i'm not walking away and i
have to say that my absolute favorite
thing about them is that they don't hate
men they don't feel threatened or put
upon by the men around them instead they
form bonds with them and work with them
shoulder to shoulder as equals and their
own power is not diminished in
comparison they're not here to destroy
the patriarchy they're here to do what's
right now the creators of these new
female characters would probably say the
same thing that these characters are
here to do the right thing and give
young girls everywhere positive
representations to look up to but how
have they done that well let's look at
the first mistake that vogue feminism is
making and that is taking over existing
male franchises a few years ago it was
announced that doctor who a bbc program
that has been a staple of british
programming for the better part of the
last six decades would for the first
time feature a female doctor now to say
that all the fans were against this
would be just as inaccurate as saying
that everyone was for it people were
intrigued about this new direction but
were worried that their favorite show
would get the same treatment that star
wars and ghostbusters had gotten before
it
search mail replace with female with a
lethal dose of identity politics you see
in recent years the introduction of
female-led media has not been simply a
nod to female empowerment and the
opportunity to take stories into new and
interesting directions no it's usually
accompanied with some pretty
heavy-handed reinforcement of about time
and this is what we all need and while
it can sound empowering it comes off as
very self-congratulatory and
self-aggrandizing and completely
distracts from why people tune in every
week the story and the characters boring
and this is the second mistake that wolf
feminism is making it feels entitled to
its success remember when charlie's
angels was set to release a few years
ago and people were doubting whether it
would be a good movie and here's what
the director elizabeth banks had to say
about it my real plea is for men to have
enough empathy to go see movies starring
women because i've been asked to go see
movies starring men my entire life and
happily have done so
and i don't know why men don't return
that in favor now female creators or
male creators of female empowering shows
might feel they're justified in their
sense of entitlement of success support
and loyalty from fan bases but that
doesn't mean that people are going to
give it to them in fact entitlement is
often universally met with scorn and
mockery but of course they don't think
that they're being entitled they think
that they're asking for what they're do
oh wait that is the definition of
entitlement but the energy they're
spending on demanding success is the
energy they're not spending where they
need to and this is the next mistake
that work feminism is making the
characters these examples for young
girls everywhere well they're not that
great
i need you to fix his suit
the suit is literal perfection
it will be
when it fits a woman
imagine the hubris of taking the work of
someone else bruce wayne in this
situation someone who battle tested and
designed something for themselves
imagine strolling in and demanding that
the suit be fixed to fit you
and that it is only perfect once it fits
a woman who did nothing to earn it
except be a woman i'm sorry am i
supposed to connect with this behavior
am i supposed to look at this and
applaud this as a win and apply it into
my own life am i supposed to barge into
someone's office while they're out to
lunch and demand that they swap out the
name on the door how about this scene
from doctor who where an mi6 official
assumes the doctor is a man a fair
assumption since the doctor has been a
man for many decades does the female
doctor handle it with grace with
maturity and earn the respect of her
audience as well as everyone around her
i've had an upgrade
hi
really
really did you really need to put down
every man that has come before you why
do they need to kneel down for you to
stand up and that's the problem with
these characters there is such a
bitterness in them they're not working
for something bigger than them they're
driven by vengeance and anger i'm not
about to let a man take credit for a
woman's work okay but but you just took
credit for batman's work that so that's
okay this antagonistic behavior assumes
that we just hand over success to men
simply for being men by that logic no
male-led movie ever does badly and no
male character is ever criticized or
disliked that would mean that solo a
movie about a well-known beloved male
character should have done well but it
didn't i can't believe i need to say
this but success needs to be earned but
woke feminism thinks that if you don't
like these characters then you are a
census this is the next mistake of vogue
feminism there is no such thing as
legitimate criticism no any criticism of
these totally incredible characters must
be born out of bitter jealousy and a
deep desire to keep women down that if
you dislike a female character it's
because she possesses power and we are
more comfortable with seeing women in
subservient positions even we women who
criticize them don't apparently realize
the years of brainwashing we've
undergone that has told us that the
woman's place is one step behind the man
if not in the kitchen on to the next
mistake that work feminism makes it's
unshakable belief that it is saving
society that men would be bigoted toxic
fools if work feminists weren't putting
them in their place and that women would
be helpless knitting by the fire and
weeping into their handkerchiefs
wondering when the men would be home
that young women everywhere would have
no role models without woke feminism
born out of yet another flawed belief
that you need to see exactly yourself on
screen someone who has your skin color
your background in order to connect with
them but that's not how human beings
work and that's not how imagination
works regardless more female
representation on screen is a good thing
and feminism has been doing a great job
on that front for many decades now that
is until woke feminism came out of
nowhere punched traditional feminism in
the gut and said it was here to save it
remember when captain marvel came out
and made a billion dollars at the box
office and everyone was like
congratulating brie larson and she was
like guys women can be leads in movies
just like men geez i think what drives
me crazy about this is that there is
absolutely no acknowledgement of the
past as if sarah connor did not
terminate the terminator and ripley did
not destroy the alien as if these women
didn't decades ago dominate the box
office as badass action heroes strong
female characters have been speaking
well for their gender far longer than
the woke feminists would have you
believe but there's one clear difference
between the two types of representations
these females coming onto the screen
weren't perfect superheroes no they had
shortcomings and they were up against
insurmountable odds and they fought back
they learned they grew and when they
overcame the enemy we saw ourselves in
them and believed that we too could
overcome everything that scares us well
what about the female characters of
today they're either completely perfect
or other times they're rude arrogant and
entitled and tend to stay that way
you're a female bruce wayne awesome
hilarious
handsome
most commonly we associate these traits
with brash men big man in a suit of
armor
take that off what are you genius
billionaire playboy philanthropist
i know guys with none of that worth 10
eu
if our main hero possesses these traits
then it's almost guaranteed that it will
be their undoing that is until they
learn some much-needed humility the
reason the marvel franchise was so
incredibly successful was because at the
heart of it was the transformation of
two men captain america started off as
an idealistic selfless servant to his
country but eventually learned the tiny
amount of selfishness needed for him to
actually live his life and be happy tony
stark went from a hedonistic
self-serving playboy constantly
impressed by his own genius to a man who
found meaning and paid the ultimate
price to preserve it people could
connect with these heroes see themselves
in their struggles and believe that they
too could rise from their errors and
achieve greatness
but the modern female woke hero doesn't
get this traditional hero's journey
mulan is no longer a scared girl taking
up arms for the first time in order to
protect her elderly father earning her
place in the army and earning the
respect of everyone around her
no in the new version mulan has always
had chi flowing through her and she was
always meant to be the greatest warrior
of all time what's holding her back is
society's expectation that a woman
should not fight captain marvel is the
most powerful avenger so there's no
competition for me because i'm the
strongest so it's just kind of like and
what's holding her back i guess her
desire for her mentor is approval i
guess and she overcomes that easily
now rey reyes well perfect without a day
of training she can mind control guards
and pick up a lightsaber and kick kylo
ren's butt she's amazing she can save
the day what a queen what a bunch of
queens slaying all day doing epic
backflips and like who cares look i
want a woman to save the day i like that
just as much as i like the man saving
the day but is it too much to ask that
it be earned that the powers and
abilities aren't just handed to these
characters but that they work at them
they hone their skills suffer defeats
that they learn from and meditate on
losses and come back stronger than ever
and can these women suffer consequences
when they behave in terrible ways like
in the last jedi when commander holdo
does not share with her team what the
plan is for saving the last vestiges of
the rebellion instead when a male
subordinate asks her what the plan is
she immediately insults him
before we can find a new base so what's
our plan
captain
not commander right wasn't it leia's
last official act to demote you she
assumes that because he's a man he is
not entitled to communication the
rebellion is this close to being
extinguished he's not here to have a
pissing match with you he wants to be
useful
i just want to know what's going on
of course you do
i understand
i've dealt with plenty of trigger happy
fly boys like you
you're impulsive
dangerous
and the last thing we need right now
so stick to your post and follow my
orders
this is not good leadership this is
childish behavior expecting that your
team should follow you blindly and if
they don't it's because of their toxic
masculinity and you know what she dies a
hero and everyone's like hooray we
should always believe women even when
they're being terrible leaders okay can
hollywood come up with a better villain
than just society that society doesn't
believe in our female hero so that's why
she's not achieving greatness i know
it's supposed to represent the struggles
of women today but believing in yourself
is just one of the aspects needed for
success you know why i loved the first
wonder woman movie because despite diana
being literally a god killer she isn't
just an instant warrior no she works at
it she trains hard with incredible
female warriors and takes falls and hard
hits but learns and grows
so when we finally see her kick some
german butt we revel in it because she's
worked through blood sweat and tears to
get that good but what about in the
second movie well they undo all that
they show a 10 year old diana easily
besting women three times her age and
ultimately losing because of a minor
detail so she's been magic the entire
time why did she need to train as hard
as she did in the first movie as a
teenager and as an adult the problem
with these perfect princesses is that
it's impossible to connect with them
that's not me i'm not perfect i'm not
born with magic that makes me able to
air kick spears at the enemy sorry and
if the lesson here is that every woman
has innate abilities they are born with
that are being squashed because of
society's restrictions well that's just
a terrible lesson because we're telling
women that we have nothing to learn
we're born with everything we're capable
of being and we should only trust and
listen to women and
men they're just interested in sex and
keeping you down i guess my question
here is what are woke feminists after
are they working for equality if so why
does it seem like all their tv shows and
movies are all about putting men down
and propping women up as perfect
the only time i've been a man that last
body
lord how do you cope with all that ego
and if they are for equality why oh why
are they pushing the worst lesson for
women possible that women don't need to
be criticized there is so much growth
that happens when we are criticized yes
not all criticism we get in our lives is
legitimate sometimes it's born from
jealousy or fear but criticism is
necessary for growth for change for us
to adapt and for us to excel telling
women that you don't need to grow you
don't need to change the world owes you
success the world needs to accommodate
you that you can be arrogant you can
assume that every man in your life is a
sexist bigot and if they challenge you
well it's because they want to keep you
down it's almost as if woke feminists
don't want us to be the best versions of
ourselves but instead be the worst
versions of men like all the bad things
we accuse men of being arrogant bigoted
or disagreeable i think brie larson is a
great example of this she is the true
embodiment of work feminism i did i did
my stunts because i thought that that's
what everyone did
tom cruise over here no it would be the
first me not the next tom cruise thank
you very much well you know i mean he
does his own stuff
as someone who is at the top of her
career brie larson doesn't take the
opportunity to give credit to the unsung
heroes of movie making like her stunt
double but instead needs to tell
everyone just how awesome she is work at
being the best person that i can be and
using this platform
is that like a personal attack or
something in closing this is not
feminism this is toxic femininity but
what do i know i'm probably the
byproduct of years of brainwashing by
the patriarchy
