Everything wrong with Woke Feminism!

- From Captain Marvel and Rey Skywalker, to the Live Action Mulan, and Charlie's Angels - it seems like women are kicking butt up and down movies and tv shows. But how come no one likes these female heroes? No one seems to like the new Batwoman and the new female Doctor who. Why?
Is it because of Woke Feminism?
In this video, I dive into this new form of feminism that's taking everyone and everything by storm, and break down why exactly it's so damn alienating!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the amazing comments on this video! I love it!! Just FYI, I know I messed up and used the screenshot of Ghostbusters 2 instead of using the one from 2016. Also, I misused penultimate - should have said ultimate. Whoops! Just know I'm aware, but I can't fix the issues - whomp whomp :(
Thanks for speaking my mind...you are one more that I will have to check in with for sanity checks etc. Hating this society we are in now. It is anything but honest and spontaneous. Pick a side and argue like hell to win the argument.
I always catch my typos and grammatical errors directly after I hit SEND or REPLY. Never fails...sigh.
Nicely done! Thanx for addressing the blatant misandry in modern Hollywood productions. Especially comic book heroes that appeal to children. Teach 'em love, not hate.
Oh, rest assured that they did not detract from your stellar video.
Amazing video
This was a brilliant video Absolutely brilliant ! It’s not happened over night either it’s been coming for a long time the government agenda. They also laughed at women and women didn’t see it whilst putting men down. They made a man women of the year two years running but women clapped and rejoiced because they where brainwashed by emotions leading up to the kartrashian guy accepting the award. It was that bad that Instagram on the day would block anyone posting anything bad or negative about the award who says that we are not being controlled by government /media. Then I’d was the girls wanting to be in the boy brigade even though they have brownies hmm then it was women wanting to be involved with football(soccer) awards ceremony night. Which meant that men where not able to be men on a lads night out. Sit there a shut up no jokes about women or anything. So in essence men couldn’t do what the do best which is have banter. Now you have women as referees etc doesn’t anyone get it that when women get together and men get together they talk about different things. Once you bring a woman into a mans domain ie lads night out the conversation changes and men can’t be themselves which impacts the woman as then she feels awful. It’s not a battle of the sexes. Now it’s been ramped up by gender equality which won’t produce the same outcomes plus it won’t produce the same amount of women and men in jobs or what ever gender they have come up with now. Ok if a woman does the same job that’s fair she gets equal pay but to say it a blanket thing is bad. Science and nature proves the process of men and women.

As 16 year old male it definitely hurts when modern media kicks me while I’m down, tells I suck for being male, then beats me again for good measure.
Stop listening to modern media my guy!!! Im 39 and learned this lesson as a teenager that mainstream media is full of crap!!! Its sole purpose is to brainwash and lead the minds of the masses!!! N stop feeling bad for yourself that's exactly how they want u to feel. Noting is wrong with you, focus on being a good person, stand up for yourself, be unapologetically masculine and find a mentor!!! Should be your father but if u dont have one it better not be peaople like Andrew tate or Fresh n FIt
As 16 year old male I've learned to not care about the fuckers who wants nothing but feel better after pushing you down. You need to change yourself in a better way, not just in physical form (hard for me), but also in your worldseeing (you're not a man, who gets a benefits from a patryarchy, you're just a 17 yo person, who happens to be a male. That wasn't you to choose, how you was born, maybe they should blame your mom for that then? (I don't mean, that they should, I just mean that you simply need a barrier from any kind of toxicity))
@@DonMerigano I do and I usually don’t pay attention to those who are ish to insult but everyone has there limits. I just wanna watch a movie not be lectured.
If you are a 16 yo male your thoughts are very mature, be proud of your self for being aware of how the world looks like this moment. In a couple of years, or less, no one will listen to those toxic feminists. By the way, a tip, watch every video Jordan Peterson has released, his thoughts are fantastic.
Glad I didn't have to put up with this junk.

“True feminism has become tarnished, everything is now fueled by hate rather than a desire for equality.”
Feminism should cease to exist
Desire to equality yeah rite
I've heard women in Afghanistan have it pretty good. Maybe we should send our western feminists over there ? 😉😉
@ChomziLand: Telemundo Africa II Yes, especially the women left behind by their husbands in those planes.
As far as our useless Western feminists are concerned, they should go live under the Taliban who take their religion very seriously. They'll see what true patriarchy is.
Equality? Not anymore. It's gone completely the other way where its now a huge disadvantage to be a white male. Unemployed for 18 months, going to my job provider (all women staff), then going to social security (again all women staff except the security guard), then going shopping ( at least a 80% female employment rate). It's like this everywhere I go now. Companies are falling over themselves trying to prove how "equal" they are by employing females (even in male dominated disciplines) purely on their gender. Fueled by extreme left wing media propaganda hosted by feminist management and reporters. Bonus points for employing female migrants. Time for me to identify as a female and put some apples under my t-shirt.
I totally agree. One of my favourite female characters is Miss Marple, the hero of Agatha Christie’s detective series. The power that this frail elderly lady wields simply by virtue of her intellect is awe-inspiring.

@@djquinn11 Welcome Jessica.
I can’t say I’ve liked many of the recent dominant female characters in media recently. Hollywood has been celebrating WHAT we are, not WHO we are.
The word woke is basically shorthand for most sides of the internet culture war, disambiguated from its original meaning as African American vernacular generally meaning to be politically active and particularly attentive to racial injustice. Now it's mostly used as a broad pejorative.
It's slang encapsulating any number of issues in a culture war, but ultimately meaning the same thing no matter how it's used. When somebody says something is woke, chances are they mean that because something is promoting acceptance, it's bad.
If something features a strong female lead, it might be called woke for trying to appeal to a feminine audience.
We've seen plenty of examples of internet hatred lobbed franchises like Star Wars where Rey was decried as an unrealistic Mary Sue because she could fight. Other franchises to cry woke include Captain Marvel.
These franchises have a number of things in common besides making nerds mad. But most importantly they all featured strong women who could fight well before any even thought of the word Culture War.
So why are they being criticized now? Alien featured a strong female lead with short hair. Aliens featured a masculine woman with a shaved head. To nerds, these are unimpeachable classics. But now short hair or shaved heads designs is seen as bad. It's seen as woke.
The fine print may vary why people will call these franchises woke ranging from including non-binary characters to the way a particular character's hair is cut or colored.
But the point is the same, if you're trying to appeal to a broad audience and featuring somebody from a perceived minority group, you're probably woke, and I say perceived minority group because the people who most often caught complaining about these things are usually straight white men.
It's no surprise that straight white men have seen a lot of themselves in media from us Gen X and Millennials in online spaces, they been watching themselves in cartoons and movies since they were literal children and sure, there have been female characters and people of color occasionally, but rarely they were the center of attention.
So is it nostalgia or the feeling of being threatened that the things you grew up with and help define you might not solely belong to you that drives them.
There's a lot to be said about the drug of nostalgia and how it's often the basis of woke arguments. Many people come to these franchises bringing a lifetime of love and nostalgia, but also a very specific notion of what the franchises is and more importantly what it should be, and when the franchise doesn't align with those
preconceived notions exactly, it doesn't get blamed on lackluster creator and the never-ending churn of Hollywood just regurgitating IP or just personal preference.
Instead, the product now lacking because it went woke, so it went broke. And the here's the problem with just calling things woke, it displays a terrible lack of media literacy. See someone write something off as woke is the critical equivalent of seeing a child in a store screaming and throwing a fit even when their parents is trying to calmly and rationally reason with them, they can't be reasoned with, partially because they don't want to be also because they don't the ability to.
So it is with critics who simply call something woke and label it bad because it might have women or there's a new purple MM. You're not actually engaging with criticism; you're just lashing out rationally.
Imagine if this happened:
"The suit is literal perfection."
"It will be when it fits a man."
It would be called the most sexist movie ever.
and the uproars it will follow through. They will ask to boycott the movie, cancel the director, and other stuffs will asked for...
Pure armageddon....but that line in it's original form must be one of the most cringe-worthy, gag-worthy in the history of American film.
The movie will be canceled lol
RIIIIGGGGHHTTT....
Sexism Alert... Lol.
@Baggage Claim why the hell u likin this😄😄 he ain't agreeing with you

There's a simple way to check if certain behavior is ok. Swap the genders and replay it. If it's offensive after the gender swap then it's probably just offensive in general.
Underrated comment!
My wife and I listened to this. My wife responded to the end of the video with, "I like her.", referring to the channel creator. I agree. And it's not just because she's a woman.
In the words of my female significant other: "No one likes them because they aren't written as strong female characters, they're all written as bitter rich Hollywood feminists."
Bitter rich hollywood feminist angry lesbians. FTFY
No one like them bc they're not real. They're fantasies but didnt build on what a real human being be like. So ppl wont be able to sympathy with them.
@@nga88nguyen What a horrendous fantasy though.
Angry, violent, stupid, and entitled aren't good traits for your protagonist/hero to have.
To be honest i think they are written exactly as what they think strength is : Entitled, narcissistic, being born in to privilege, not having to train to get anywhere and everything being handed to you, thinking you're better and good at everything you do and everyone telling you how great you are, thinking they are morally superior, and bitter and resentful when others dont act the way they want.
It's basically a Hollywood rich kid who writes themselves in to a role thinking they are amazing.
DING! DING! DING!
Nobody wants to see a female James Bond. Make a different character
Yes, James Bond is one of the rarer instances we're his sexuality (and specifically his attitude towards women) _is_ a defining characteristic, and, therefore, swapping the gender would not work. In contrast to making The Doctor a woman which could have worked fine had they not gone down this "woke" feminism journey.
Exactly make him have a love interest or a colleague who is female that can kick ass eg Grace Jones in her role as May Day. the problem is I remember Ripley, Sarah Connor, and Wonderwoman. I also grew up with kick-ass singers Like Suzy Quatro, Joan Jet, and Debbie Harry. Just be talented and Kickass and you will shine and be respected for it nobody owes you anything for nothing. I want my daughter to be respected for what she achieves not because it's expected deep down no one respects you for that.
Agreed!! Made a new character don’t co-opt existing Characters
Exactly!!! Why change in this case, bond.... To a female character that has no semblance of the character of James F'N bond!?? Wokeness gone insane...
@@ozziegirl71 lol Grace Jones was a badass she still scares me 😱🥺😂
Thanks for showing us that not all women are out to destroy us. it gets prety dark out there and when I was single and unemployed it legit felt like all woman were just waiting to shit on you for being a man. I feel really sorry for young men growing up in this toxic wasteland.
I'm sure that is a vast understatement.
I hear you.
do women actually shit on men in real life for being men? misandry only exists online.
Wokeism has been probably the worst thing we've created on the Internet, It has hurt more people than it has helped in the long run and makes society honestly terrifying
edit: also the ironic part about the bad wonder woman movie is that the message is "You can't take shortcuts" and then the writers take shortcuts
The Captain Marvel movies are the perfect examples of "bad" movies.

Edit: thanks for clarifying y'all
"Men don't need to kneel for women to stand" that is the perfect description of my frustration with feminist entertainment
When you make someone kneel so you can stand, you're not standing on the shoulders of giants. You're still small.
YES. Me too, she put it perfectly. Equality means we stand together.
agreed!
and no one said otherwise
ik right
"Bitterness" You nailed it. I've been trying to think of a word for it and that hit the nail on the head.
Thank God women with sense like you still exists.
"Its almost as if woke feminists don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves, but instead be the worst version of men"
Absolutely! why am I supposed to cheer on characters that are rude, entitled, bratty and have a massive ego problem, just because they are female? why are those considered "good" role models for young women? these literally are traits under the "toxic masculinity" umbrella when they appear in men, but are somehow worthy of applaud when they appear in women??
Let's just dispense with the genderering and just call it for what it is which is toxic behaviour.
Ooohhh you put the words straight put of my mouth when I couldn't put it into words! I knew there was something I was hating about these woke feminist films more than the obnoxious protagonists. It was the double standard all along!
THIS.
Toxic feminism indulges in revenge fantasies against a perceived patriarchy that is supposedly supported by every single male on the planet. Little wonder they just come off as insufferable fascists, for that's precisely what they are. Try pointing this out to any Toxic SJW "feminist", & instead of engaging in anything resembling reasoned debate, focus all their energy upon shutting you up.
It's a VERY strange & increasingly twisted world we live in today. At the same time when massive strides toward equality & acceptance of not just women but different sexualities & gender identities HAVE been made (compare the '80s to now, dimwit historians!), that a vocal minority of rabid sociopaths should be attempting to shut down every dissenting voice & establish a fascist matriarchy in which EVERYTHING male is automatically considered bogus at best, & evil at worst.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so damn dangerous & poisonous.
Bc its part of the Leftist plan to make people weak minded so they can be easily controlled
Toxic femininity is a thing and this was a perfect explanation of it. Toxicity in a person has nothing to do with gender. It has to do with character, mainly, arrogance and selfishness.
It’s also a thing that’s always to do with low self esteem and realising there is nothing interesting they can actually offer.
@the1_that_dgaf The oppressor can do no right. The oppressed can do no wrong.
@the1_that_dgaf which is very sexist towards women if you think about it, because it's basically says that women aren't responsible for their actions and basically have no agency on their own.
If you think for one second your relationship to your gender does not have a direct relationship to your character you are sadly mistaken. Not your gender mind you, your personal relationship with your gender.
@@dirkd.2024 Tend to agree, well commented, and yes, all about self perception.
The perfect clarity and reasoning of this video's author is captivating. Thank you for you amazing work!
Lady, let me say how refreshing this post is. I didn't realise my mouth was wide open for most of it until it got so dry, I needed to pause it and go get a drink. I couldn't believe how spot-on everything you said and illustrated so perfectly is. You definitely are not "woke" but damn girl, you are awake! I have to wonder how writers, producers and directors have thoroughly missed the issues you raise here. They're probably focused on the $$$ and not the creative aspects and certainly not the social commentary. I can't wait for more content from you. What a rare super power you have.
"It's almost as if woke feminists don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves, but instead to be the worst versions of men." Brilliant!
Yes. Feminists are second grade men. Scratch that, they're fifth grade men, and that's being generous. They act like what they perceive us to be, which is a horribly warped view.
@poetjohncanyon well I agree but feminists usually want to break gender stereotypes. Toxic masculinity is a really big problem and it's because of gender stereotypes and some of these "certain traits"
That's it in a nutshell.
@@catcitikatkat7910 Toxic masculinity doesn't exist. Toxic behavior isn't related to masculinity. Stop perpetuating anti-male falsehoods.
A typical incely comment is not brilliant. Its made to dupe gullble youngsters on the internet who swallow it without question
"Cant Hollywood come up with a better villain than just society?" This was spot on.
Society is vague enough to not develop at all but just identifiable enough for the audience to understand anyway. It's the perfect scapegoat for lazy writers.
@@theotherjared9824 what do you think of the Joker tho? Yes, that Joquin Phoenix film if I remember correctly society was kinda the antagonist of that story, but I think they did it right since most liked the movie
@@spadeecstasy8709 Joker is one of the better cases in that the movie actually elaborated on how society affected the characters. Still, it doesn't change the fact that the villain was an abstract concept that didn't need to be developed.
@@theotherjared9824 that's because to write a good story you do not necessarily need one. it's just an obstacle, like many others can be, that the main character needs to overcome to reach his goals.
most villains are symbols of societal issues. that's what makes stories memorable and cross-cultural.
I have been watching this video over and over again, the more I watch the more compelling it was! You are a great documentary maker! Thank you.
I've been viewing a LOT of videos like this one, made by men AND women. The agreement between you all regarding woke feminism is astounding. It's one of the most toxic ideological movements I've experienced in my 67 years (woke feminism I mean -- not your reactions to it).
Kudos to you for presenting perhaps the clearest, most understandable, and most compelling arguments I've heard. Well done, Ms Baggage Claim (sorry, I don't know your real name).
“Why do they need to kneel down for you to stand up?” is brilliant
I just love this ❤️👍🏻
This statement resonated with me as well. Agreed! Brilliant!
this is very true and it applies to literally everything in the West nowadays
"It is not enough that I should succeed. Others must fail."
Only weak women require men to kneel for them to be strong.
As a woman I fucking love this! Literally tired of the “woke” feminism bull
Exactly! The new age "feminism" is a wolf in sheep's clothing! It's undoing everything feminism was originally meant to be, which is bad for all of us women! We need to call that bs when we see it!
She gets it
90% of audience is but because the 10% screams the loudest they get heard
@@lamppuu1 Indeed. Feminism is getting such a bad rep these days because they are completely twisting the original message and purpose. (Or at least the loud minority is but those are the ones that get noticed.) I hate it.
I'll complete your sentence for you. They're bullshit... They are a disgrace to feminism that's why people are calling them feminazi.

Hermione was the most intelligent out of the trio but she ALWAYS reminded Harry that HE was the one who had to defeat Voldemort, and supported Ron by making him feel more confident. She never tried to do something without them, rather she was sure they needed to work as a team, and she was next to them, not below, not above. Even after the other two would always recognize they couldn't do it without her, she used her intelligence to compliment Harry's and even Ron's personal skills. That's why I loved her and she was my role model as a kid.
If I remember correctly she wasn’t even just “naturally gifted” she had to work twice as hard with her little time necklace thing
And more importantly, she wasn't a perfect goddess (not talking about the movies but the books). She had her flaws and she dealt with it.
I never liked hermoine, mainly because of her personality, but I definitely have to agree, pretty decent character as well.
@@harveyquinn3535 it was more she chose to word harder because she enjoyed it.
There were certain aspects of Hermione that I didn't like, but they had nothing to do with her being female. She was often dismissively arrogant, especially toward Ron, and treated people less intelligent than her as either someone to be pitied or dismissed. But see, those are personal traits that I dislike in men as well. And despite this, there was no denying that she commanded respect for how she developed herself and worked with those around her. Sort of like an arrogant quarterback who thinks they ARE the team (something I hate) but nevertheless works with the team such that all members succeed (something I admire). Hermione personifies what I'd see as the ideal feminist: don't tell her she CAN'T do it, but also know that she is as prone as anyone else to being less than perfect. What we've gotten with woke culture however, is that nothing is perfect UNTIL it involves a woman.
This video is made so well, great job!
Such an amazing on point message, 100% correct in every single aspect!
The new Mulan didn’t put “I’ll make a man outta you” because it was “offensive to women.” What’s funny is, that song in the original movie shows Mulan being stronger than men.
I know
I dunno. I think that the training montage showed her keeping up with the guys finally, but what set her apart was her cleverness. She can't match the men in sheer strength, so she has to think her way around problems. Using the weights together, starting the avalanche, etc. She never really overpowers an enemy or wins through brute force. That's what feminist movies do wrong: They force female characters to beat men at what men are good at. Problem is that it devalues what women are good at.

Professional feminists have no real motivation to actually solve anything. If anything, they want the issues to get worse, because that equates more money and more power.
That's why the polarization in their stances and communications has been steadily increasing.

The ENTIRE Alien series is about a woman who continually survives whilst being surrounded my men that all die. But it isn't trying to push men down, she was genuinely trying to work alongside them to survive!!
As a 44 year old man-child, I am proud to shout that Ellen Ripley is my favourite character ever. She's kick ass because she's scared, but still tries to do the right thing.
The first movies with Ripley was the perfect example. She elevated to BAMF status WITHOUT the xenomorphs devolving into anything less scary, and they were peak cosmic nightmares in those times.

Alien series is the only collection of movies where I did not even notice who was male and who was female. I referred to everyone by the character name.

I heard and read so much BS over the last few years that I grew numb to most criticism.

What happened to good old-fashioned getting to know a person before labeling them. That's what 'movements' like this cause. People becoming numb, weary and fed up.

A huge problem is that americans think this is a real left, that being a leftist equals woke culture (and it's spreading to other countries). But it doesn't. A left, a real left, is supposed to protect workers from exploitation and enforce workers' unions, give veterans a subsidy, give people a job, impose more taxes on rich people so that poor people don't have to pay more, fight for public healthcare etc.
@@nickn2794 unfortunately it seems that number is very low. Remaining leftists either avoid any political stuff or they switch to centrism. Both political sides right now are very dangerously in a extremism position. You’re either a radical or a centrist.
I never really understood why I didn't find many of the recent "woke" movies och tv-shows entertaining. But you really managed to make me understand why. There isn't much depth in the new female characters among other things . Great video, good work!

Amazing. I've thought about this for a long time and how to answer these issues. I've frankly been at a loss for words on some of these stickier topics. Here's the beauty: I'm a man, yet her command of the topic kicks mine's butt. Can't wait for more content from this towering intellect. Gonna use it.
Yeah someone already said that
This is refreshing, as a woman I can't agree more, the road that wokeness is taking is advocating for arrogance, hateful attitude towards men, intitelment and irresponsiblity, This image is discrediting the cases in which struggles are endured around the world, it's childish & digenerate to want to turn women into angry, irrational creatures that are constantly defensive .
the problem is that only women can say this because if a man says it theyll be cancelled. woke culture isnt equality its censorship and discrimination against people who have a different opinion
Ya got me with the first half of the intro baggage
Pinning this impeccable video and sharing it with everyone i feel NEEDS to see this
When I, a woman, first found this video and watched the first few seconds, I was bouncing in my seat! You don't know how insanely happy I was to find another woman speaking out about this issue!
Edit: Nvm! I'm a trans dude!
Yay!!
People need to hear this. I'm a man and I want to see more Ripleys and Vrataskis (Emily Blunt in Edge of Tomorrow) on screen and not these lazily written, garbage characters. These writers have no skills and they hide their mediocrity behind agendas. Their male characters suck equally because they're just clueless about their jobs. It's all low effort trash by people who have no business doing the jobs they do.
All three of you in this comment section are the types of people we need in this world. Men and women are not equal but they are equally as important to the success of each other. I'd be nowhere without a woman (my mum) but this woman never made me feel like one is better than the other
Me too! I’m sick of seeing everyone making “strong girls” and then having this savior complex thinking they’re inspiring millions. Like can we focus on writing good characters again
@@Shvabicu or more leeloos
Look at Lara Croft as a character, she’s a total badass but the fact that’s she’s a woman never comes into play. The ladies of Resident Evil are the same.
Same with Alita battle angel. But they never once flinched.
Same for Samus
Same with Ripley or Vasquez from Aliens or Sarah Connor from Terminator series. Heck even Uma Thurman's the Bride from Kill Bill is a far better option than most female superhero characters of today.
Lara started as weak
@@clone2k696 it seems to me these days that SJW’s just don’t want female protagonists to be strong and attractive.
You have good takes on these subjects. Great analysis. Thanks for your work.🙏🏾
I rarely comment on a video, but I have to this time. Thank you for your genius !
"Our movie did bad because men don't like powerful women."
Alien, Tomb Raider, Metroid, Uncharted, a lot of Tarantino movies, Wonder Woman, Terminator, The Last of Us, and so many more.
People don't like your movies because they're bad.
@E So is uncharted/metroid
dont forget kill bill
@@unclesam6325 that's why I just said Tarantino movies
Pretty much all Ghibli movies. The most successful anime films of all times.
Resident evil.
In the original version of mulan, she isn’t stronger than the people around her but uses her wit to succeed. The new mulan is just inherently stronger than everyone she comes across.
And in the original, she doesn't have super power and she is aware that she is physically inferior to men. But she still pushes through and saves the day by mind and will power. THAT was the part that was so empowering. The hope that average, everyday women can also follow this path, accept their limits and still rise.
The new Mulan has superpowers and is just superior to everyone. At the end of the movie, you're just left thinking that: "God, if I had superpowers... But I don't".
Exactly the same thing happened with The Legend of Korra. It's just so forced
Exactly!!! When I first watched the original Mulan I was so inspired and empowered by how despite being the weakest among her peers, she pushes through to sacrifice and fight like nobody else. the real power does not come from sth supernatural, it is all about mind and perseverance.
like, it's actually sexist in my eyes to make movies with female leads like this. People start to hate them and they eventually don't want female roles.
It's almost like they are admitting they need a handicap.
Wow. Your videos are amazing, and the commentary is so good and professional!
I'm crippled with brittle bones. My father beat me senseless for the first 7 years of my life, and he got away with it. I was bullied by my vice principal and the rich kids at school, and they got away with it. My mother and her multitude of boyfriends bullied me too; they also got away with it. My two bosses got rid of me for being inadequate due to being crippled and also got away with it. My landlord is trying to rip me off in order to line his pockets and benefit his fellow migrants, and he is getting away with it. I'm unemployed and unable to get my unemployed insurance due to South Africa's love of corruption, and they get away with it. Then there's still trans, the little mermaid changing race, etc. And my conclusion after 43 years... I love my wife, I'm grateful for her and whatever I have, and I wish to keep the remainder of my life simple by not giving a fuck as I always have.
don't forget to mention Jennifer Lawrence's incredible performance in the hunger games. wasn't incredible because she was a woman, because she is a very well written character who was played by an excellent actor
yupp same with Katniss in the books she isn't a great character because she is a woman but because she is strong and fights for what is right!
You're also meant to relate and empathize with Katniss, but the books make no attempt to gould you into thinking she's the best at everything or too good for everyone else. She very much isn't! And much of her weakness is criticized and called out by the other characters.
There is a reason why the plan to escape in the second book was hidden from her. And why she wasn't allowed to rescue Peta and why she wasn't really in charge of anything. Because while her passion and desires are noble, she also lacked the experience and maturity to channel thay passion effectively. She is, after all, just a kid. And to expect she could effectively lead other soldiers into battle or carry out complex plans with high stakes was a rediculous notion and I'm glad the author didn't go for that.
In other words, Katniss was allowed to be a human being and behave in ways that were appropriate to her character based on her age and the book's themes. She was allowed to make mistakes. She allowed not to be liked by other people. She was allowed not to be trusted. She wasn't there just to be a strong character for its own sake, but to tell a particular story with a specific message about image, media propaganda, and hero worship.
She’s the actor who made me want to read books hahaha soon as I seen the movies I went straight to the books for more

@ronald Jenkins are you crazy 💀 search ufc women
"It's almost like woke feminists don't want us to be the best versions of ourselves; they want us to be the worst versions of men." You hit the nail on the head with that. Thanks for putting this out there. As a woman who *used* to be proud to call herself a feminist, I have watched with growing alarm how feminism has been highjacked by woke feminism. I will never buy into the hypocritical argument that in order to elevate women, we must denigrate men. There are good men and good women, and bad men and bad women in the world. If toxic masculinity is a thing, then so is toxic femininity.
It was really about equality. It was a man can like knitting and an abnormally strong woman shouldn't be prevented from heavy manual work because "women are weaker"
Now it's there's male soul and female soul that can be mismatched with their bodies 🤔
Same. I still call myself a feminist bc that is what feminism is. “Woke feminists” aren’t real feminists.
Glad you said this as a Woman. When ive stated similar remarks im met with the usual put downs and retorts to shut me up because im a man.
Because of this kind of girl still exist, the reason i would never paint all the girls same.
That is exactly right.
Thank you for this video! I've been calling these things toxic feminism for years now! I love hearing other fellow women speaking out about it. And yes, WW1 was the only female superhero movie done right.
You explained the issue very very well. Hopefully this will lead to better stories.
they took the idea of “a woman can be anything” and made it “here’s a woman that can do everything” and it just reinforces the idea that you have to be perfect in every way and it’s what everyone should expect of you
didnt filmento say that
Not to mention that a lot of 'strong female characters' are written to essentially be men in women's bodies, and it kind of pushes a narritave that being feminine makes you weak. The tender, nurturing side of a woman is very underappreciated these days.
toxic feminism enforces everything orginal feminism was trying to end
There's also the unintended consequence that the real message little girls get is that if they are not perfect at birth, then they are failures. Do you feel unsure of yourself or fear; then that's not a normal human experience there's something wrong with you. You tried something and didn't ace it, then their's either something wrong with you OR the game is rigged. And if the game is rigged you work to get the rules changed because the only reason for your failure MOST be that the system is against you.
That message, that you are secretly great but that the system is against you, is a horrible message. Because the woke focus on the 'you are great' part; but in reality you are not born great. You have to work and earn it. So when people fail (as they must) they blame 'society / the system'. Social change and progress is good, but the real message here becomes you are powerless in the world. All the power lies with society, you have no control of your life; only the 'others' do.
And that's a horrible way to try to go through life. You can see it it some many woke movements:
The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations
Exactly, and, like another video (about the latest Charlie's angels movie) highlighted it, if a character can do everything, is equally good at everything, then she's ultimately particularly good at nothing, hence not remarkable, not admirable and not endearing. COUGH COUGH *Mary-Sue COUGH!
I feel for Bruce Wayne 😭 he went through a lot, overcame his fear of bats, trained in mountains for years, worked a lot on his batsuit, saves Gotham city from crimes etc. and she just walks in, takes the suit and says “it will be perfect when it fits a women?! That’s grade A insane!
He would be like: "I didn't got my back broken, saved Gotham from psychopaths multiple times and broken my rule only when necessary for this"?!
You forgot witnessed his parents get killed in cold blood
And, people took vengeance on it by flopping that pathetic show.
Did you see how Ruby Rose's replacement actor got the suit in Batwoman season 2? It literally falls out of the sky and lands right next to her.
He’s not real
You’ll be fine 🤣
Isn't it ironic that one of the few modern female heroes who doesn't hate men is the one named Black Widow?
Holy shit, someone using irony correctly in the wild...
Haha nice find 👍🏻
fun fact: the actual spider with the same name, is a specimen where males DON`T get eaten as often, as with other spiders. sure, sometimes they do get eaten.
however, the male black widow tends to get away with his life more often than other male spiders.

First rule of creating a strong female character, don’t draw attention that she a strong female character.
@Душан Радовановић Yeah, that just ruins everything.
Just like Ripley and Connor showcases us, portraying them as truly women is what made them so great to begin with. They didn't become icons by denigrating men, but by showing they are effeminate characters who would still act like real, strong women in such situations. To note that no male character would win sympathy over the audience by denigrating women...

"Can Hollywood come up with a better villain than just society?"
-For real, for truly
me me me me me me please me
Hollywood / wokism is busy ensuring that society becomes an enemy to itself.
To be fair, humans on average have lost an actual lemon's worth of brain size since the advent of modern civilization - over the past 3 thousand years. So ironically, they may have a point, just for the wrong reasons.
society is honestly a pretty big villain. Even some of the biggest villains are victims of society themselves... take Jeffrey Dahmer for example.
well... society as a villain works in 13 reasons why.... nah even there depression is the main villain
As everyone says:
It’s not about writing a good female character, it’s about writing a good character, who happens to be a woman
The vast majority of directors and producers are white men. They don’t know how to write female characters. That’s the issue.
We are already conditioned to see male roles positively.

Impressive video. Loved this view, never thought i would see unbiased and true humble opinions. Thank you 🙏
To add most importantly views reflected in this video, which i never knew existed and completely unaware is an eye opening.
This was wonderfully presented 👏🏽
When are people going to realize that saying "I'm better because I'm female" is just as sexist as men saying "I'm better because I'm male."
The latter is true though statistically. Who holds all the world records? Who are foremost inventors? Who work every essential job? Who bring in enough taxes to keep society running while the other literally costs more than they bring in? Who gets drafted? Who volunteers for national defense more?
Men are better. Just a fact. Women are needed for children, and they stopped having them, so men are attempting to fix another one of the problems they made with artificial wombs and eggs now too. Men's entire existence literally revolves around running after women picking up the pieces they left behind and putting them back together.
@@TheStraightestWhitest While this is kinda sexist, it is true that biologically men are simply stronger than women.
@@TheStraightestWhitest facts. The only use a female actually has because there isn't a single job a man doesn't do better and faster.
@@TheStraightestWhitest lol wtf? The economy would go to shit without women, wtf are you on a out. We arent carrying them. Women made 83 cents for every dolar a man made. Thats almost the same.

Late to the party but loved loved loved this video, thank you! I'm just a stray who is wandered in over from The Critical Drinker. 👍🏼
The thing I find most disappointing is assuming that women who are soft, demure, self sacrificing and naturally quiet souls are a scorn on womanhood. Some women have these character traits and it makes them wonderful caretakers of others, which we also need in society. It's a character trait many men lack which is why most men seek these traits in women, as a compliment to their own traits. Not every woman needs to be a literal Wonder Woman.
Yes exactly that! The feminine spirit is beautiful. What's so bad about being soft, nurturing etc? It's wonderful
Amen to that! The balance of softness and strength, demure and relentless, self sacrificing and confidence, plus quiet yet with actions that speak louder. These are just some of the real life qualities that make women great - which got lost in woke feminism
These are traditional female qualities, from time when women didn't need to imitate men to feel powerful and meaningful.
And as a man I prefer reading and cooking to destroying aliens trying to conquer the world. I leave that to the wife.

"Can Hollywood come up with better villians than just society?"
Excellent observation. Hollywood is so out of touch with their customers it's laughable.
Culture is literally changing and Media reflects that but Media is also the Cause, cause it's all symbiotic.
For example, Quotes from the
12. Doctor: "Oh, the Mechanized Space-Suits malfunction and attack us? That's funny cause that means we're like Anyone-else Everywhere-else: We're fighting the Suit!"
12. Doctor:"What makes you feel so superior? It it the good House?
But Human-Progress isnt measured by Industry, it's measured by looking at a Life.
An unimportant Life... a life without privilege.
13. Doctor: "OMG, OMG, OMG, have you heard of Space-Amazon?
Amazon is so epic, everyone who disagrees with that is a literal PIG. We should all
stop criticizing Amazon forever."
I kid you not, they said that. Holy Penguin, wtf.
And yeah, Critical Drinker's massive Success with his 'Why modern movies s-ck'-video-SERIES speaks for itself. People DO want Quality back.
A Good Example of a Non-Woke-Fanbase that asks for more Female Representation
and even the 1.Woman-Protag is Yugioh.
No Wokeness that i ever saw.
Silly Ideas like 'Shonen must be full of Boys and only be for Boys' hold back
the Quality.
People just want the natural thing of the Franchise aging together with them;
ya know, the 'Harry Potter Treatment' as well as well-written Females (which was
always a big Problem in Yugioh and Naurto) and even a female MC.
So 'out of Spite' (lol) the MC was Aged-Down, haha.
Not only do we get no Female Protag who's in her Twenties,
but we got the Youngest and Creamy-Whitiest MC ever.
They just did, they made the villian WOMEN, but not for their movies, but for real life. I agree this is toxic feminity, but now this has led to most PEOPLE hating these movies and their characters for their strong females, that hollywood made. hollywood does not care about women, not even humans at all, they just lure on money, as it has always been for them.
They’re not outta touch at all. They know what they want-and that’s to give people 2 choices of nonsensical bullshit to fight over. “Pick a side, feel intensely about the side you pick, and go fight the other side … They know what they’re doing. You don’t.

"Can Hollywood come up with a better villain than society?" 🤣🤣🤣
Hollywood won't. They don't have the guts. I hate to admit it; Hollywood is one of many reasons why society is failing and why there is so much corruption.
But it's almost like Hollywood wants society to be the 'villain', because that is the narrative that will drive them attention; much like how the nfl, wwe, and us govt do certain things.
Yes. KK. The all time SW villain.
