Why is this movie praised for its relentlessly sexist theme?

Well written satire you got there, though not that original. I give it 7/10.

This movie has many different interpretations that are all pretty valid, so I can understand why someone wouldn't see the movie the way you have.

I 100% agree. Anyone who doesn't realize the glaringly obvious sexist undertones of the film isn't seeing through the surface of it. Abandoning the child should be the biggest eye opener, the clearest metaphor for how the filmmakers see certain women. Thank you, Padzoc, for sharing your conclusions.

You are right that this movie is completely sexist, but you are wrong in your interpretation of who it is sexist towards. There are no female characters in the movie so obviously there is no sexism towards women. There is, however, an alien who is made to look like a woman so that she can capture men for the purpose of, well, that is never made fully clear but the men are certainly killed. In this movie, as is VERY common nowadays, women are portrayed very positively while men are shown in a horribly negative light. Men are shown to be complete morons - totally incapable of suppressing their sexual urges and making rational decisions - who will jump into a van because there's a pretty girl in it and follow her blindly to their doom. It's ridiculous, revolting, and horribly sexist towards men. Television shows, movies, and advertisements now constantly show women to be strong, intelligent, decision making adults, while men are portrayed as weak and stupid adolescents who must be controlled by their superior female partners.

You're right that there is a relentlessly sexist theme. It is hugely sexist towards men. It is a common theme nowadays that we are constantly bombarded with and it must be stopped.

A woman walks through a park late at night and gets raped. When a senior public official says that women should not walk through parks alone at night - which would seem completely bl00dy obvious but apparently isn't to some people - he is lambasted for saying that women are inviting rape, even though that is NOTHING at all like what he actually said. We are told that men must control themselves and that a woman should be able to walk down the street naked, bending over to pick up change as often as she likes, and that any man in the vicinity shouldn't even look in her direction. Next thing though we have a movie like this in which men just leap into a van and follow a woman to their death when she starts undressing, the very clear implication being that men would be incapable of suppressing their sexual desires and using their intellects in that situation - obviously hot women regularly pick up ugly guys in their car and take them home for immediate, no questions asked sex, so there's nothing suspicious going on - and yet no one bats an eyelid and points out that men aren't just animals with no self control; as we're told every time a woman gets raped after walking alone at night. This movie is, as a result, completely and utterly sexist towards men...

But wait... there's more!

Next thing a man actually DOES try to rape the alien, so now it's not just implied that men are incapable of control and are basically just sexually driven animals, it's now being stated very clearly; just in case you missed it earlier. As if that wasn't bad enough though, we now have people like you turning around and saying that this movie is sexist towards women.

UNBELIEVABLE!

Are you a troll, or a moron, or are you just deliberately obtuse?

We're from the planet Duplon. We are here to destroy you.

Padoz and Taticat...Wow. Just wow. I need not say more.

why do you assume she wants to have sex to reward the man? He wasn't a rapist like the next dude and I think if she told him that she needed help without sex he would have did so.

I think she wanted to have sex to have a little bit of pleasure in this life before her death. She had 4 motorcycle guys after her. Her days were numbered until they either caught her or she had an "accident" and was revealed. She knew she could never go back home. Not every sexual act a woman does is centered around the guy.

I think she also tried eating the cake for similar reasons to having six. She knew this was something humans found pleasurable but she found it revolting (or may have not even been able to do it).

The main motor cycle guy walks past the crying baby while pickin up the Czech guy's stuff.

Nice MRA satire/trolling: 6/10
