Diverse female protagonist, Directed by a woman, Written by a woman, no white man to spoil the fun...

I think you misunderstand OP. They're not complaining that Mulan is written and directed by women. They're highlighting that despite making a point to arbitrarily stack the film female and not really involve the evil white man, it was still a flop.

The only people that care if a writer and director of a film are both white men are brainlet feminists

Do you ever have a problem when both the writer and director are white men? You sound entitled and expect all movies to be written and directed by white men. Your attitude is a great example of white skin privilege, too. Thanks for showcasing your misogyny and racism as proof they still exist.

Haha! Nice!

I do often wonder if sexist and racist people ever bother to look at the perspectives of those they feel entitled to have more privilege than. And so I often try to understand how they can feel so entitled. I fail to see it. What are they offering that makes them feel they deserve more from the world?

No because the white man aren't the ones complaining when a woman does it. I just despise quota checkboxes in order to supposedly make a good movie. If I were a misogynist as you proclaim, I wouldn't even watch pro-feminist shows like Wonder Woman or play pro-feminist games like The Last of Us, Tomb Raider, etc.

Almost everything to you sounds entitled, privileged, racist, and misogynistic. I get it, school has trained you well in the liberal sphere. You're sounding more and more further left by the day. I wouldn't be surprised if you started supporting Bernie from your complaints of him before.

It’s just that we’ve come to expect crap when a movie is directed by a woman and written by a woman. There’s never any deviation from this time tested formula.

Don't think it mattered in the case of the movie, high rank or not, at least not even to the commanders demanding that every family send one male child to the cause. Even after he fell due to his bad leg, the commander didn't even say anything and just accepted it after he stood back up. The general though may have different thoughts if he learned he only had 2 daughters and was a cripple. Most likely would've either sent him home or given some strategic role as you said. Would make sense seeing how everyone else were all young fighting men (excluding the leaders/trainers).

Seeing how strict Chinese parents usually are, I would've thought the dad would've scolded her if not spanked her for disobeying him or dishonoring the family by taking his role (head family and only male) away from his duty to the country/emperor. That is of course if she returned without the general commending her thereafter when she returned home.
