I haven't seen the movie yet, but heard it was well done. No issue with female heroes. I go to a movie to enjoy a movie. Thor ragnark was a fun movie. The female villain was a bedazz.

This conversation isn't about the movie per se. It's about sexist attitudes being promoted by the alt-right. Funny how people are skipping over this.

Do you all believe men should rule over women?

My personal theory is that the alt-right are just afraid to compete on an even playing field with women and people of color.

Again with this "It's the current year". So what? Why would the year be supposed to govern what one believes? Are you admitting to the power of propaganda, or what? I mean, "It's the current year, so we all should have been brainwashed equally"? Is that the point?

And your prejudices -- wow!

I do not believe that "women are biologically programmed to like cooking and housework". That's your prejudice about people who look at the world objectively, without filtering our view through the lens of ideology. What I believe, and what I said, is that the things that women have traditionally done, which has varied from time to time and place to place, are valuable.

But more to the point of the OP, men and women are different, and it is true that, for the most part, women make terrible leaders.

Exactly! Real Star Wars is dead, Disney tripe is all that lives on.

The year is very relevant. It's crazy that people would make an issue of strong female characters in action movies in 2017. No one thought it was making men look wimpy even when the female characters would kick azz in the 80's. Just one example off the top of my head; In the early 80's the Conan the Barbarian series starring Arnold Schwarzenegger all had strong female characters. His mother died defending him against invaders, his love interest in the first movie was a warrior and Grace Jones was a breakout actress in the sequel. Later Brigitte Neilson starred with Arnold in Red Sonja.

I swear we are going back in time....the 80's seems more progressive than now listening to some of these comments. BTW Grace Jones is black too. Here is a clip from 1984 in case some don't remember.

Really? You question my alleged prejudice while stating that women are unilaterally terrible leader?

Can you elaborate on what is supposed to make women terrible leaders?

On an even playing field?

Affirmative action preferences that favor women and non-whites over white males eliminated that "even playing field" fifty years ago.

I don't watch TV shows and movies that have women and non-whites in authoritative roles.

Why? Because without discrimination against whites and males, it wouldn't happen in real life.

As far as I'm concerned, it's fakery.

SJW nonsense.

I've stated this before and some didn't believe me, but it's something I've seen on forums I've investigated years ago.

Alt-right trolls wage war on
You seem to have all the White people where you want them! So to speak.
