If the movie is 'feminist' as in modern day feminism, then yes it will be about trying to correct the masculinity out of him. Given the state of Hollywood today, I highly doubt the women in the movie could ever have anything to learn from the loathed gender. I mean, it's not like in reality where things work best when men and women can get along and value/compliment eachothers' strengths and weaknesses equally.the December King said:I'm just genuinely curious.LysanderNemoinis said:Probably not, otherwise the toxic masculinity might cause the young man to become something other than a pan-gendered omnisexual giraffe otherkin.the December King said:So, at any point does a man share his perspectives and ideas on life in helping to guide the lad?
I mean, If it's just a light-hearted, coming of age comedy, well, a man's POV need not be present or anything, a balance isn't necessary, but if it doesn't exist, and the film is more about women raising a man and 'correcting' all the 'man' out of him, then I don't know, I might find it a frustrating watch.
But if it is feminist, it might be worth watching- as Marter seems to imply (and correct me if I have misread or misunderstood the review- I don't want to speak out of turn!), the more the ladies try to teach the boy to be a man, the more they learn about themselves, as well- which is a nice angle, I admit.
I imagine that was supposed to be 'punk rock', though I have to say that if someone advertised a punch rock show I'd attend in a heartbeat.The film is set in the late 1970s, a time of punch rock and second-wave feminism.
They did include the mechanic William, and though I haven't seen the film I'd be very surprised if they wrote a male character into a key position in the house only to ignore him.the December King said:So, at any point does a man share his perspectives and ideas on life in helping to guide the lad?

And I can feel the passive-aggressive garbage smell just rolling off you. You don't believe that (Western, white) men are the new toilet for pop culture? Fine; nobody's putting a gun to your head. The least you COULD do, though, is attempt to respond in a civil manner. Or this can just devolve into another situation of two 'sides' on separate basketball courts, scoring meaningless points and occasionally stopping to lob shit over the dividing wall. Your choice.Scytail said:I can just feel the poor, repressed MRA nazi broiling within you. Please, do go on about feminazi oppression and about how women making equal pay to men is an affront to your pathetic masculinity.
Dude, it's modern Hollywierd - I'm surprised they haven't greenlit a picture where a white, hetero male is literally crucified and burnt alive (and who has nothing to do with Jesus). Personally, I'll be thanking Mr. Marter for his review, and staying away from this.LysanderNemoinis said:If the movie is 'feminist' as in modern day feminism, then yes it will be about trying to correct the masculinity out of him.
