If its any consolation, I liked your designs and I think merchandise especially when its created by women like yourself is great. I think this article needed to touch on that more and give us more places where we could buy women owned/made/created/run feminist stuff.

Totally agree. We have come so far that my local major clothing outlet (David Jones in Australia) actually had t shirts with feminist written on them on mannequins. People can be as cynical as they want, but I for the first time feel like my feminist views are mainstream and I can actually talk about freely and openly.

This si so true. Qui-gon is everything.

No, I totally agree with you. But I’ve lived in both India and Australia, and I just get irritated at women here in a first world country when they so easily go along and excuse these gender norms, whereas I know that most women on this planet don’t even get that choice.

Sadly I think a lot of these guys are probably in relationships, are married, have kids, work alongside women while being like this all the time on the inside. Seriously sometimes being around men is like being in an occupied country.

Yeah and so many women keep defending this nonsense...especially the last name stuff. Seriously I won’t be surprised if you get a comment or two “how it was my choice to change my last name to my husbands for reasons x, y and z” Gosh women are so unbelievably brainwashed.

Also this one! My favourite scene of all time.

Loved your review, its the onl yone I’ve seen that really explains the eastern meets western part of it so well. What part of it was millenial humour though? Im writing a review for my blog soon and looking for interesting angles to add to and that could be one.

I think your overall review is great. The fact that were so many themes and points that deserved so much more coverage made me really wish that this was a tv series instead. There was so much more that I wanted to see indepth. Basically every character, every scene, it was just all too much for a movie. Here’s to…

As a straight woman I also have to say he has something, not even sure what it is, but its something.

That’s a wonderful point and really focuses on the Robinhoodness of the whole situation.

She was perfect. I would love to see her more as well.

That is so hilarious and sounds exactly like Carrie. And Oscar is exactly the type of guy to enjoy it as well. It would have been a hoot filming with those two.

Yeah the whole sexual slavery angle really needs to go mainstream and something that everyone needs to be talking about. Like Im hoping that’s the next big thing in feminism brings to the surface. In the meantime we probably need a thread every saturday night social to vent about it.

If I had to really time it, I would say it was from 9/11 onwards. From that time the hope/progressionism of the 90s seemed to fade and it was replaced by fear, which slowly as we came to Obama turned into underground racism/sexism, which then exploded into overground racism/sexism these last few years.

Selena reminds me off those serially monogamist women, who can’t got for 2 seconds without being in a relationship of finding some guy on the side to message with.

I reckon though if there were just as many men that were teachers as there are women, men preying on students would be a lot more common. The whole teacher things only happens because teaching is so heavily full of women. Its like the only fallback MRA types have of female abuse. Whereas for men being abusive it is…

Plenty of women offer contrast and amusement though, its not the field of men alone. As for the good ones well I hope they’re actively calling out the other men around them on sexism, otherwise they’re in the #yesallmen category as well.

When can they just leave this planet. I unlike most women have no qualms about a completely man free existence.

Too bad Im a pants/shorts/jeans kind of person.
