I'm a feminist and I'm opposed to any movie that treats "it has women so it's automatically great" as a selling point. If a movie is shit, it's shit. And it's not misogynist to treat a female-led piece of shit the same as you would a male-led piece of shit. In fact it's basically the opposite.

Equality means taking the lumps with the good, and that includes viewing movies as something more than the genders of their stars. Sadly, Sony hasn't gotten that memo, and has notably deleted pro-woman, anti-movie comments in order to sell their narrative of a misogynist conspiracy. And in doing so, they treat the concept of womanhood as nothing more than a commodity.

I'm feminist too and I completely disagree with you.
No one is saying this film is 'automatically great' because it has women in it. What people are saying, is that people should at least give it a go, before dissing it (personally, I think it looks terrible, but I'll see it and make my mind up). The problem is the sheer vitriol of the hate against it, which does seem to be mainly 'ew women cooties'. People aren't treating it the same as an all-male piece of shit, so yes that is misogynist. A lot of remakes come out all the time, with all male casts, that look shit and usually turn out to be shit, yet don't get the vitriol that this has gotten. That's the problem. I personally think it's a small part of the internet, who are causing all of this backlash and that it will probably do fine at the box office.
I agree that films should be viewed as more than the gender of their stars, in theory. However, the majority of films last year starred, were written by, produced by and directed by men. Then when films come out that do star female characters (ie the two new Star Wars films), there is a backlash due to the 'ew feminism' factor, by some corners of the net. IMO,therefore, it's a bit difficult for me, as a feminist, to view films as something more than the star's genders, when gender is clearly still such an issue, in Hollywood.
I haven't heard of Sony deleting comments, seems rather extreme to me. Even if they are, this isn't a conspiracy! The fact is that the misogynist comments are there. Sony didn't write the comments, to begin with.

Yeah they're not treating it like an all male piece of shit would be treated, but it's because they're treating it like we have to ignore the shitty qualities soly on account of the female cast. They're not trashing it because women.

There was no backlash to Star Wars. None at all. What got claimed as backlash was people taking troll comments as some sort of gospel and treating it as the mindset of the modern man.

Sony has been deleting comments that explain their distaste for being sold a product purely on gender and leaving only sexism (which I'd be willing to bet is bandwagon trolls as well) so they can point to the opposition as being only about sexism and not about quality or femininity being commoditized.

https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?type=avastbcl&hspart=avast&hsimp=yhs-001&p=sony+deleting+ghostbusters+comments All of this sure smacks of a conspiracy to me. A marketing ploy if not a conspiracy, and again, treating women as though they have to be protected and that no product featuring women could ever be hated on its own merits.

Trash is trash, female-led or not.
