A well-known "men's rights activist" blog is calling for a boycott of the postapocalyptic film "Mad Max: Fury Road" for being a "feminist piece of propaganda posing as a guy flick."
Author Aaron Clarey admits he has not seen the film yet, but his self-proclaimed "spidey sense" noticed that Charlize Theron "talked a lot during the trailers" for the film, and he said Tom Hardy only seemed to have cameo appearances. "Charlize Theron's character barked orders to Mad Max," writes Clarey on Return of Kings. "Nobody barks orders to Mad Max."
Clarey did not like reading reviews commending Theron for many of her action scenes, nor did he appreciate the news that the movie's director, George Miller, asked "Vagina Monologues" author Eve Ensler to consult with the five actresses who play sex slaves in the film.
Clarey writes that he is concerned "men in America and around the world are going to be duped by explosions, fire tornadoes, and desert raiders into seeing what is guaranteed to be nothing more than feminist propaganda, while at the same time being insulted AND tricked into viewing a piece of American culture ruined and rewritten right in front of their very eyes."
The movie -- like the original "Mad Max" trilogy -- was filmed in Australia and is directed and co-written by Miller, who is Australian.
Clarey feels Hollywood and Miller tricked him by making a movie that "visually looks amazing."
"Let us be clear. This is the vehicle by which they are guaranteed to force a lecture on feminism down your throat," writes Clarey. "This is the Trojan Horse feminists and Hollywood leftists will use to (vainly) insist on the trope women are equal to men in all things, including physique, strength, and logic."

I am SO SICK of Freepers whose wives have their nuts in a jar cheering in female empowerment crap like the Hunger Games and this Mad Max reboot. Leave female empowerment to the libs please!
Who doesn’t like homosexual child rape? /s
From the reviews and history I’ve read, this movie minimizes the CGI and used as many practical effects as possible.
Also, ALL of the Mad Max movies make Max as a secondary character. He’s a vehicle to be used to achieve the goals of other characters.
I don’t go to movies, but I will see this when it comes out for sale.
careful, it is NOT a family movie
Oh, I kinda figured that.
Correct. I don’t know what the hell these guys are complaining about. Mad Max still saves the day in the end. Movie is bonkers. Like a Megadeth t-shirt come to life.
