Classic liberal idiot. It’s always someone else’s fault.

This is echoes of the “If you don’t think Amy Schumer is funny, it’s because you hate women” thing from last year. In fact, it’s like it on multiple levels.

[[[She said, “I wanted it to be a celebration of women. I wanted it to remind people that women are everywhere, that you can’t ignore us and that when you underestimate us, you give us a superpower.”]]]

Was the Helen Reddy song playing in the background?

IIRC, years later Helen Reddy said she regretted that song.

Getting WOKE at top corporate levels often lead to disaster.

I find them an unattractive bunch of women, nothing like the original stars. I’d say they are fugly but that might trigger them.

She’s right about sexism. Feminist anti-male sexism ruined the movie...

She's made a crap movie, then blames the public -- and is doing that because of her white privilege and elitist sense of entitlement.

...she wanted to “bring the themes of sorority and sisterhood and camaraderie and women working together as a team into an action movie.”

"And if men don't want to see it, they're just sexist. And if women don't want to see it, they're just dumb." Nothing sells tickets like open contempt of your audience.

The reason for the film’s disastrous opening, according to Banks? Sexism.

Same reason Hitlery's not president! Hmmmm, I'm sensing a trend.

“If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”

Sew, a needle pulling thread!

I believe that Chick-Fil-A is about to find that out as well.

She could always learn to code.
