As we all know, women weren't allowed to appear in motion pictures until Ghostbusters (2016). Before then, all female roles in film were portrayed by men in drag, elaborate puppets, or, more recently, CGI avatars. But now that the gender barrier has been shattered, anything goes. Women can play superheroes, cops, and even doctors. And get this: Now there's even a woman in a movie about robots from the future trying to wipe out humanity!

What the hell is this guy talking about?!

He is trying to be facetiously clever in the way Mark Steyn and Ann Coulter are.

There has been a female Terminator, though.. Granted, it sucked, but there was one.

Were not Scarlett O’Hara of Gone With the Wind and Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, both in 1939, in their own way strong female leads? Clara Bow in numerous roles before then? There have always been strong female roles in movies. Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in just about every role.

Don’t waste your time and money on Hollywood when you can wait a couple of weeks and watch it free online...

Much is said about "female action heroines" and how unrealistic they would be in real life. But guys go to watch them anyway.

One common factor in POPULAR female action actresses is that they are attractive and physically fit. Guys can suspend disbelief in the woman's activities, and focus on thoughts of how good she would be in bed.

Some examples:

Now contrast with UNSUCCESSFUL female action heroines:

Not the stuff of male bedroom fantasy.

Which brings us to the latest Terminator

Nope, nobody inspires bedroom fantasies there.

Best science fiction film of all time. Well, in my opinion anyway. Based on William de Vere's/Shakespeare's last and best play, The Tempest.
