“The director called in Leftie/Feminist Eve Ensler (all-things vagina expert) to consult on the movie.”

I heard that too, and it was troubling, but after the tsunami of five star reviews from the public after the first day of release, I went to see it anyway.

Yes, there are a few “girl power” moments in the movie, but it wasn’t over-the-top and I didn’t find it really detracted from anything. I heard some girl in the audience clapping when the lead female got to “one up” Max in one scene, and you know what? Good for her. Us boys always had guys like Max as role models, so I can’t begrudge a girl being happy to have a role model like that for herself.

The difference is that we are men, action is what we do in real life, the left creates false realities to brainwash people, to get their minds right for current politics.

Forty years of such imagery and brainwashing has changed the civilian (voters) view of females in the military, and now they are seen as equal to the actual warriors.

Here’s the rub on the “role model” for that young woman. It is a false narrative — the female in real life may be able to outtalk/outgun/outsmart a man, but we will never be able to compete on any level of one-on-one physicality. Letting the female heroine character show the male “hero” who is boss only happens if the guy lets her do it. He could deck her in a heart beat if he so chooses. These Amazon-like characters in the military movies and the action movies are being drawn by Leftie Feminists (both female and male) fantasizing about how we really should be not as we are. This gives young females a false sense of their own true strengths.
