Why I thought this movie *was* feminist
Hi,
I'm French and only learned English recently (well, not so recently, but I don't really use my English knowledge everyday), so this may not be a genius essay.
However, aside from all the stereotypes and tropes pictured, I thought it was a real feminist movie. People often say that a feminist movie need a female to be the first protagonist, I think this isn't feminist at all. It's sexism. I can't really develop it further, but it strikes me as the same as saying that no man can be feminist.
There, we got a male protagonist and the movie enlighten what shaped his perception of his gender, and what shaped others' character perception of their genders. Some says it's sexist because some characters have sexists ideas about themselves or others, like in that book the Female Man. Does one say it is a sexist book because it show you what the characters think about themselves?
I hope you got my point here, I always understand what I read in English, but it's harder for me to write. (I think this problem has a name, the [something-someone] Effect, but well)
