i’m just incredibly over how whenever a woman makes a movie about women it gets picked over to hell and back and men hate it because they hate women and women hate it because it didn’t Do Feminism Perfectly Right and queer people on tumblr hate it because it’s about a straight woman and republicans hate it because it’s furthering the woke agenda and everybody and their fucking father has to write a goddamn think piece about it. and then a man makes a movie about a man and it’s just a movie. it’s just another movie that came out on a friday during some month of the year. and usually the man’s movie is a little misogynistic but no one really criticizes that because well he’s a man we can’t expect better from him haha isn’t it so silly when those male directors hate women!! but then the female director literally gets her every decision analyzed by everyone for the next month not even counting all the criticism and analyzing that was done during the lead up to her movie. and then we all have to pretend like it’s not horrifically misogynistic to level all that extra criticism onto women who make movies and then just let the men go do whatever. like i’m sooo sick of it i’m so sick of it! and god forbid someone like me log on to whatever social media platform and say hey don’t you guys think you’re being too critical? because then WE’RE the bad guy for hating perfect intersectional feminism i guess. like i’m so deeply deeply sick of this are you all not sick of this.
ok this is the last you’ll hear from me on the topic because like i’m over it. this post is not a “let people enjoy things it’s not that deep” post. this is a post about how criticizing every big movie that a woman was allowed to make (barbie, wonder woman, captain marvel. i’m talking about blockbusters here i was never talking about all movies. people don’t do this with niche indies). and then not criticizing male directors for their insane misogyny in similarly popular movies. this post was about how i have had to see a hundred tiktoks saying that barbie was “white feminism” “basic feminism 101” “did intersectionality wrong” etc. and then having to see a hundred tumblr posts saying the same shit but more condescending because tumblr is the website for people who understand feminism but hate femininity. and EYE. made a post (untagged!!!) about how it’s frustrating to see all of this and then also immediately have to see the same people jokingly saying shit like “yeah christopher nolan fucking hates women but i’m gonna watch his new movie anyway because men in his movies are gay haha” (<- guy who’s ignoring how men in his movies seem gay because christopher nolan hates women and won’t portray them equally). also frankly i think everyone on this post saying shit like yeah guys it’s Just A Movie it’s Stupid it’s Silly it’s just a stupid movie. you people suck no it’s not just a movie is never just a movie and equating barbie with stupidity makes you look annoying as hell like are you my dad. in conclusion, this post was never meant to get more than 10 notes. peace and love
A lot of you are fans of “reparative readings” but specifically with works by white men, and resort to the most paranoid reading possible when it comes to women creators
somewhere down the line, they attempt to reconcile. just before wilbur leaves to utah. it goes as you would expect.
