Re: IN WHAT FUCKING WORLD IS MAD MAX FEMINIST?!? - TW Likley rape discussion

I...I don't think it's inherently a feminist movie.

I think people praise it for having good female characters because

- Furiosa is equally competent, if not more competent than Max

- Furiosa and max are actually both responsible adults that respect each other and need each other without being needy-dependent.

- The women all have personal motives, hopes, dreams and personal arcs separate from the hero.

- None of the women are a prize for the protagonist

- While rape is definitely implied to be part of the universe, it's more about human life being a commodity than misogyny, because Max unwillingly used as a blood donor, and War Boys being used as canon fodder shows the bigger picture of lack of agency (that is not just women's issue).

Euh...and I don't think anyone except MRA's claimed it's a feminist movie. The rest of us just think it's a good film with good characters - and some of those happen to be female.

Merp. What you described makes it a feminist movie.

Nah dawg, for it to be a feminist movie, everything that happens to women must happen to men and vice versa. It has to be completely equal in every way, such that there might as well not even be different genders.
