I WOULD have reblogged this really cool thing I read about Mad Max: Fury Road, if the person hadn’t called it a “feminist” movie.
Yes, it was a very good movie, and it had many strong female characters, but it was not a feminist movie.
It’s not yours. it wasn’t made for you. Just because you enjoyed it doesn’t make it “feminist”.
Was it advertised as feminist? No. Was it MADE to be feminist? No. As a matter of fact, Charlize (Furiosa) even said “ George [Miller] didn’t have a feminist agenda up his sleeve” - and despite her pushing Mad Max as a feminist movie, it wasn’t one. It was just a good move.
Fuck off. Seriously.
ummmmmmmm, just on logic terms this is completely nonsensical
say you never intended to throw a ball into a basket but it lands there anyway and everyone’s like “THAT WAS SUCH A GREAT FREE THROW”, would you react with such vitriol and say “FUCK OFF BASKETBALL FANS, I NEVER INTENDED IT TO BE A FREE THROW”
like what is so wrong with fury road being appreciated for respecting women??? we’re not trying to grab it away from you, we’re just saying “so mad max respects women and we, as feminists, REALLY ENJOY IT THANK YOU GEORGE MILLER.”
[rubs my icky GIRL hands all over mad max fury road] this is MINE now
