What a weird time we live in when feminists are now complaining men are not interested in a period piece drama. That genre has always skewed heavily women. I must admit I enjoy period dramas especially British based from the Regency to Edwardian periods. Men are not afraid to see these movies they are not interested and there is nothing wrong with that. How many women are going to see the upcoming war movie "1917"? Should I scold women for ignoring a movie portraying the horrible sacrifices men have made on the battlefield to protect them?

“For the love of Marmee,” writes Monica Hesse of the WaPo, “won’t someone please organize a Meetup so these men can watch Saoirse Ronan and Emma Watson go to the ball and lose their gloves?”

What the heck is she talking about....maybe if they lost their pants....

I liked Rambo!

But I don’t expect men to turn up at Little Women. That’s absurd.

It’s not a period piece drama. It is a contemporary piece swiped from L M Alcott, replete
With contemporary feminist rants, weak, scarce men and a ridiculous back and forth chronology with four different times

It is vapid, humorless and boring. No man has any business sitting through this

We women had a hard enough time with it

It’s like when Captain Marvel came out and The director said it wasn’t made for men. Then it flopped spectacularly. When asked why, “because men didn’t support it at the theater.”

Well, you pretty much said it wasn’t for us and cut us out. Duh.

I think the writer is here confusing the concept of fear with lack of interest or boredom.

Liberals do that with many things.

For example, I am a flaming heterosexual (but a happily monogamous one for over 30 years). I have never been interested in hosexual sex and I find the concept of homosexual sodomy to be every bit as disgusting as animal sodomy. Many liberals would label me as a homophobe, even though I have no fear of homosexuals.

I was going to make a remark about “period piece,” but thought better of it.

One of my favorite ‘period dramas’ was called Austenland. It is a send up, with the heroine wanting so much to live during the Regency that she sells some of her worldly goods (her car) to go on a vacation to Austenland in Britain. It is an ‘experience the Regency period’ estate run by Jane Seymour and her overweight, sloth of a husband. It is quite funny. At least my British husband and I thought so. Give it a try : )

My wife considers women to be more morally bankrupt than men, but men are just more overt about it. Men watch pr0n. Women read bodice rippers or 50 shades of gray.

Real women understand this about men and women - and don’t judge men. I’m no fan of this, but one guy I used to know has a friend that owns a topless bar. His own wife would pay for his “table dances” on his birthday, because she knew she was reaping the benefit of it when they got home.

No, my wife would not do that - nor would I want her to. But I’d prefer being married to someone like his wife than a woman that expected me to act like a woman.

I watched Pride and Prejudice (the PBS series) with my wife because she wanted me to. And she watches James bond and The Expendables because I asked her to. We both found things to enjoy in the one we were asked to watch - but not much.

How silly some women are! I am a woman. I like some movies and I do not like some movies. I certainly do NOT like movies that modify a story into a silly feminist propaganda film! I do not plan on seeing the movie. I did read the book as a child. I certainly do not WANT my husband to express a desire to see Little Women!

They said the same thing about the Women's World Cup.

Even though the women took a larger percent of the receipts in prize money than the men's tournament, the women's tournament makes less money overall due to less demand.

It's just the way it is. We can't pass a law to make men attend womens' event, and then report it on their tax forms or face a Roberts tax.

Yet.

“Dear men who are afraid to see Little Women...”

Fascinated by that line, the assumption that not wanting to see the movie is somehow based on fear. The writer’s reality must be one really whacked-out place.
