Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?

Jump

  • Ripley was... neuter enough in Alien and Mama Rambo in Aliens. I'm sure the whiners hate the cutesy scenes with Newt and love the Queen Fight.

    • To the people who attach sticky notes sticky side down - why?

  • Found the damn prankster.

  • Those movies work because the female leads are just good.

    The usual suspects whined about Furiosa, precisely because as you say the movie was about her.

    The selling point isn't that they have women in them, the selling point is they are really really good movies.

    Yeah, but whiners whined anyway.

  • Furiosa irritated the hell out of many men with a wounded pride.

  • There are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead

    They probably would, if she acts like a man.

  • Well, he may have a point there, bit this is the same guy who promotes racial screening in airports in spite of repeated refutations of the usefulness of such measures by a security expert, so...

  • Is making fun of a religion hate speech?

    Many believers seem to think so. Then again, they think it's "hate speech" to show the contradictions of their "holy" book, so...

    People with this attitude are my enemies. Specially if they propose alcohol as method.

  • Dumb and Dumber.

    I don't find people mentally limited or crass humor to be funny.

    And Jim Carrey is despicable. He was even before supporting an anti-vaxxer.

  • So working on yourself and improving yourself, building self-respect, setting personal standards that you refuse to compromise on, and focusing on intrinsic motivation is somehow “not boding well”?

    That is not what MGTOW means in reality, and you know it. Stop playing coy.

    Jump

  • the ad hominem of tying anything RP/BP to being “incel-speak”, in an attempt to silence any discussion in favour of the ideological narrative.

    We don't need to "discuss" misogynistic postulates, the same way we don't need to "discuss" if black people have souls. The request for "discussion" beliefs your position and reveals you're beyond any possible redemption and that conversation is pointless.
