More FemiNAZI anti-male crap, that's acceptable?


So long as women, ethnic minorities or disabled are insulting people, that's ok?

yep. new age of not offending ANYONE. Oh, except the only one to offend is your basic white guy, who is the reason for all things bad, yet also all things good on our planet. Will be neat when all these white guys are smacked down and the world becomes a THIRD world country, because no more white guy to TRY and improve the quality of living. What's that? I'm wrong? Look at all those counties the white guy has bailed from. Are we going to BLAME him for leaving them behind too.

There's just no winning.... why even try?

Look at the state of British colonies vs Spanish ones at present. The latter pilfered riches and resources from their conquered lands whereas the former invested in infrastructure, education and government to properly set them up for success.

reply

there's always tiny specifics

reply

Actually........if I recall, Americans revolted against the British because the English crown was levying far too many unfair taxes to enrich the crown.......as the British did from colonies all over the world.

reply

And the current state of each colony by comparison?

reply

I think if you actually looked up and made alist of English and Spanish Colonies , there wouldnt be a lot in it.

Also Spanish and English are both European white Caucasians
You're doing your racism wrong.

I'm not talking about race at all.

Also LOL, are you from one or something?

reply

"I'm not talking about race at all."
You're not? its just that your reply was to a guy ranting about how white men are top dogs and black men cant do shit and live in third world countries.

I did think your English Spanish colony retrospective was a bit "out of left field" , when replying in a conversation about race.

so what were you trying to say regarding "deleted"'s rant?

reply

Yeah I was talking in terms of government systems and colonial expansion strategies way back when - some had negative affects when you look at countries today; not specifically race.

I guess it's an entire subject on it's own.

@triplea:
WTF does this movie have to do with British or Spanish colonialism?

reply

I'm not sure this is true. The British exploited India. How are they doing? Well, they are the world's longest democracy, but they have massive pollution, over population and poverty. Yes, the three Ps! What about China? China is an emerging superpower, but I don't think it's because of the British. They actually shot cannon balls into the Chinese ports to force them to keep selling opium to the English. How's that for "building infrastructure"? The point of colonialism was to pull riches out of these nations and bring them back home. In Africa the British and others carved up territories with little regard to the indigenous people who lived there. People that were life-long enemies were forced to try to form a country. How well has that worked?

I see no problems in wakanda.

This movie isn’t insulting white men, it’s criticising r*pe culture. It also shows that women are complicit in that, in fact we see Cassie treat the Dean, a Woman, with the most venom. That scene is one of the most uncomfortable scenes in the film.
The movie also isn’t saying anything about anyone that isn’t true and societally timely. It’s a very realistic movie at its core.
The title is even based on a real life case, albeit a subversion.

You have to understand that MovieChat is overrun with people like the OP. They think attacking toxic male characters is attacking all white males.

Like how Keanu Reeves goes after Russian thugs for killing his dog, so that must mean it's a hideously MaleNAZI film that hates all Russian people. People like OP seem to operate in their own fantasy land even when the movie is over.

reply

hehe , Keanu gets a pass becasue he's white.
If it had been a woman or a colored person hurting the white ayran Russians.....
my god the uproar in the OP's clubhouse!

Thats a prime example of the insanity of these "this film hates us white men" brigade

reply

I was definitely put off wanting to watch the film for a while cause I didn't need another film directed by a woman bashing men as Hollywood were churning them out at that time and rightly most of them were getting bashed for it.

But I have to defend Promising Young Woman, the main character Cassandra (Carey Mulligan) is out hunting down men who take advantage of drunken vulnerable women and all the men aren't white either. As you said she's equally as hard on the women she encounters then she is with the men. The Dean, The Dean's daughter and Alison Brie's character for example aren't presented in a great light.

As a male, I don't think the film is a male hating film. It probably doesn't help it that outside of Clancy Brown, no other male is presented too great in the film. When the film does show a nice guy with Ryan character, he ends up been a scumbag lol.

I liked it personally.

"FemiNAZI anti-male crap"
"So long as women, ethnic minorities or disabled are insulting people, that's ok?"


Sorry whats the issue exactly? seriously.
I'm not saying that sarcastically as in I take the opposing view ,
I'm saying you wernt clear enough.

What about the film , specifically , has triggered you?

All i know is the basic outline:
"A women is raped (and then possibly not believed in court) and takes revenge on her atacker(s) "

I'm unclear where the 'FemiNAZI anti-male crap' is?


reply

hmmmm interesting

reply

Did you watch the movie? Cassie wasn't raped, her dead-by-suicide friend was, and there was no court trial.

reply

i must confess , no i havent seen the movie.
The news that the revenge taking is done by a friend rather than the victim , doesent change my question though.

reply

I can only presume, since the poster used the term "feminazi," that he is upset with the portrayal of men in this movie. The protagonist's hobby is to pretend to be out-of-her-mind drunk at bars in order to get picked up by males who then take her to their apts. and try to have sex with her, at which time she becomes scoldingly sober. The motivating "back-story" is that her friend was raped by a fellow-student in med school and no one in the administration would believe her and she ended up committing suicide (the dean, who was ultimately responsible for how the case was handled, is a woman, btw). I thought it was a good movie, funny at times, and I can't think of any "nice" guy who would not take her part, crazy as she is, against the type of guy who would take advantage of a drunk girl.

What do you expect from leftist Hollyweird garbage?
