I've been watching older movies recently.
The people have spoken, and no amount of name calling has changed their mind. This is indeed good.
there are very few movies made after 1999 that dont have some kind of BS in it that i notice now, there will still be that random feminist man/patriarchy hating statement in there somewhere.
There are a few movies that I have enjoyed: 1917, The Northman, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Margin Call, about anything from Mel Gibson and Clint Eastwood
i meant after 1999. Jurassic Park was 1993.
EDIT: Even Jurassic Park had a feminist moment in it, when Dr Grand, Malcom and Sattler were talking about: God creating dinosaurs, destroying dinosaurs, creating man, man creating dinosaurs, dinosaurs destroy man, women inherit the earth.

There are so many waves of feminism people study the history. I am an I'm not helpless feminist. I still appreciate being treated as a lady, and will hold a door open for anyone. I grew up with the feminism of being able to make the choice to do whatever I wanted.
Femimazis were the first step of the woke nonsense. Did you know there are people calling women that like to be traditional creepy?! It's not about making choices for yourself anymore. My son likes to tell me about tiktok drama.
1960s feminism destroyed women, and relationships [coupled with birth control and abortion, but thats another story] and since their happiness has been measured, women have been less happy every year since feminism.
Feminism also has its roots in marxism. And the founding 2nd wave feminist agreed to feminist bible by Simone De Beauvoir, she has stated "women should not have the choice between raising children or working because they will take raising children every time."
All feminism did was pit women against men, who didnt want the fight so they withdrew, while getting women into the work force under the guise of liberation.... because working for a company that doesnt give a shit about you and would fire you in the morning for whatever reason and put out a "help wanted" sign that afternoon is liberating but being married to a man whom you willingly chose who willingly takes care of your everything is slavery. It also depressed wages so now in the west, unless the father makes really good money, both parents have to work and their children be raised by the state.... pure marxism.
Additionally, feminism has drilled into western women such a distrust of men that they structure their lives with one foot financially out the door. Distrust is hardly the basis for a stable family, and its the children that suffer, who witness their parents not trusting each other and the generational cycle starts all over again.
PS: 80% of divorces in the US are initiated by women, which says something considering there are no penalties, only incentives..... which LBJ used to break up black families [75% single mothers], and extrapolated to all families now.
As a woman that filed for divorce because I married too young, to a man that I didn't even like as a person by the time I realized a was a married single mother, I would like to tell you. I visited my grandparents. They have fought my entire life. I walked out the door and decided then and there I was filing for divorce. I did it the very next day. My grandmother who is still married to my grandfather told me she was very proud of me. Statistics don't allow you to feel the emotion that people live while they're just a number. I was married to a man that refused to be a house husband, but was not legally allowed to work in this country. While I actively made more than him, and he sabotaged me consistantly.
I learned the term starter marriage in therapy.
I'm out of practice, but there's also a thought of feminism that considered being lesbian the purest form. It was an older one. Mistakes have definitely been made, and I've read articles that are very convincing about intentionally getting half the population into the workforce.
Femism with all its baggage is still the word for not being a damsel in distress.
