And nothing just screams out the patriarchy as a trans woman beating a cis woman in sports.

It's the feminist mobius strip club.

'Charlie's Angels' reboot bombs at the Box Office: Elizabeth Banks blames 'sexism', fans blame 'bad movie'

The new 'Charlie's Angels' movie starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott, and Ella Balinska hasn't exactly been the smash-hit that its director Elizabeth Banks would have wanted it to be. Not only has the film bombed at the box office but it also hasn't been particularly well-received by critics either.

In an interview with WSJ that was published on November 14, just a day before the film's disastrous opening, Banks had addressed the criticism she's been facing for making the new 'Charlie's Angels' movie. Banks had then claimed that the only reason 'Charlie's Angels' is getting so much flak is because men don't like watching women in action films, pointing out that the 'Spider-Man' franchise is still successful even after multiple reboots and relaunches.

“You’ve had 37 Spider-Man movies and you’re not complaining!” Banks said. “I think women are allowed to have one or two action franchises every 17 years — I feel totally fine with that.”

Banks had also previously told Herald Sun that “If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”

Well, now Banks' worst fears have come true and the film is a spectacular failure. However, as much as Banks might try to blame sexism for the movie's failure, Twitter doesn't seem to buy it. Check out some of these tweets:

"Elizabeth Banks says Charlie’s Angels flopped because men don’t go see women do action movies. *stares in Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel box office returns* Bad movie is bad, that’s why the movie flopped." - @ChakoPolako

"1. No one asked for a new Charlie's Angels movie.
2. No one wanted a new Charlie's Angels movie.
3. The previous Charlie's Angels movies were bad.
4. The Charlie's Angels TV show was okay at best.
5. Spider-Man is 37 times better than Charlie's Angels.
'Let's blame men!'" - @Supahz

"I mean, some of my favorite films this year feature women in prominent or starting roles; Crawl, Endgame, Captain Marvel, Alita, Toy Story 4, and so on. I just don't like Charlie's Angels that much. I'm just letting other people enjoy this one." - @DGill2295

Now you might think "Hey, these are all still men talking." So here's what the women in the audience had to say on the matter.

"Then you should have made "CHARLIE'S ANGELS" correctly! Don't expect women to show up for a shitty movie just because we're women. You didn't do your job as director!" - @KolaBoof3

"I was saying to some friends yesterday, I love Charlie's Angels but I have no interest in seeing this one. Nothing about it excites me. Certainly not as exciting as seeing Lucy, Drew, Cameron, and Demi in the 90's/2000's when those were done. And I am a Kristen fan." - @BattyMatilda

"i want to support elizabeth banks & movies with female leads but i truly could not care any less about charlie’s angels" - @minygrande

Looking back, we've had some amazing female-led movies in 2019 that have challenged expectations and been more than a little successful. Unfortunately, 'Charlie's Angels' was not one of them.

You only have to watch the movie´s trailers to realize what a big of shite it is. #craptoo, sorry to say it. Not all the women-led films have to be box-office hits...Farrah must be revolving in her grave...

Sullen and ugly is the new glamour. It signals that you don't need men.

Which is exactly what Banks said in interviews -- that this movie is for women, not for men. And then she blames men for not going to the theatres when the movie bombs.

They did the same thing when the female GHOSTBUSTERS bombed --- they blamed men and sexism for its failure.

Obama has decided to embrace his inner SJW and bullshit the world into believing that women are "indisputably better" than men:

Barack Obama: Women are better leaders than men

If women ran every country in the world there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes, former US President Barack Obama has said.

Speaking in Singapore, he said women aren't perfect, but are "indisputably better" than men.

He said most of the problems in the world came from old people, mostly men, holding onto positions of power.

He also spoke about political polarisation and the use of social media to spread falsehoods.

Speaking at a private event on leadership, Mr Obama said while in office he had mused what a world run by women would look like.

"Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us [men].

"I'm absolutely confident that for two years if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see a significant improvement across the board on just about everything... living standards and outcomes."

When asked if he would ever consider going back into political leadership, he said he believed in leaders stepping aside when the time came.

"If you look at the world and look at the problems it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way," he said.

"It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power."

Mr Obama served as US president from 2009 until 2017.

Since leaving the White House, he and former first lady Michelle Obama have set up a foundation mentoring young leaders around the world.

The pair were in Kuala Lumpur last week for an Obama Foundation event.

Sweet but untrue. Michelle also said recently that: we women are too nice to our men.

I like Sally Field, and I understand she was commenting about the Iraq war, but when she said in the 2000s at the Emmys that "if mothers ran the world, there would be no war!" the sentiment was inaccurate.

Per capita, female regents start even more wars than males.

And while most public violence is indeed male, 50% of reciprocative domestic violence is initiated by women, and 70% of unilateral domestic violence is from women -- those are stats you'll never hear in mainstream media. Nor the fact that women kill their offspring at a much higher rate than men (regardless of whether the fathers are in the household or not) and the cause of such statistics are usually dismissed as the patriarchy pitting women against her children and each other, so she isn't culpable for her own actions.

But we're not supposed to ever talk about the dark side of women (and indeed there is one) and it's now considered OK to make it up about specific men (TeenVogue and other feminists have said bringing innocent men down with false allegations is acceptable and necessary in order to more quickly overthrow the patriarchy).

And although America's first female Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright became infamous for her 2016 campaign statement that "there's a special place in hell for women who don't support other women," she also said years earlier that she doesn't agree with people who believe that the world would be so much better a place if run by women, and that people who think that must not remember school.

Even in the animal kingdom, for all the countless mammalian species in existence, there are only a small handful of genuine matriarchies -- and the females are treated far better by patriarchies than males are by matriarchies (which may be why there are so few of them).

I always like to hark back to Betty Eadie's 1973 NDE tale where the robed Counsel of 13 were all male and, as an old '60s second wave feminist, she was unsettled by this and inquired as to why this was. And the answer was, basically, that as flawed as earthly men in power are, look out if women become even more powerful politically: that corrosive female narcissism will leave the evils of men in the dust.

I didn't know the last part, but I knew there were many female war mongers out there. The idea that female leaders would bring about peace and prosperity seems to be based on an antiquated view of maternal instinct. Women have long been viewed as inherently nurturing, but that's not always the case. Hell, Obama's own Secretary of State wasn't exactly a pacifist.

It also sounded like Obama took a shot at his own VP when he said "If you look at the world and look at the problems it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way. It is important for political leaders to try and remind themselves that you are there to do a job, but you are not there for life, you are not there in order to prop up your own sense of self importance or your own power." Ouch. Of course, Obama's full of it if he thinks that only applies to old men. Hillary Clinton is an old woman who also refuses to get out of the way.

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with anybody devoting their life to public service, provided they're in it for the right reasons. Biden seems to be running for president for no other reason than his own sense of self importance and power like Obama suggested. Bernie Sanders, on the other hand, is an old man with a genuine concern for humanity.

There's an impulsive …. impulse … to define all men by the very worst of male behavior, and to define all women by the very best of female behavior, insisting that the privilege of the top 1% of 1% of men trickles down to all men while the guilt for the bottom criminal, rapey percentages of men trickles up to all men --- as if we're a vast sea of Mother Teresas (if we'd just stop raping them) and Ted Bundy's with privilege.

And even when evil in women is exposed incontrovertibly, the feminists today blame it on scarring by the patriarchy on powerless women. So it's not her fault.

Some assert that we're actually a matriarchy masquerading as a patriarchy. Others have other theories.

Not surprisingly, Bernie was asked to respond to Obama's comments about things improving under female leadership and old men not getting out of the way. In true Bernie fashion, he repudiated identity politics. He then correctly stated the problem isn't young or old, black or white, or male or female, but rather a concentration of power in the hands of billionaires.

What's funny to me is that Obama likely knows what he's saying is bullshit, but it plays well with a certain segment of the left. He certainly didn't get out of Hillary's way in 2008.

The New York Times just ran a piece today (which I'm too contemptuously lazy to repost) addressing whether Obama's assertions that there would be no more wars if women ran everything. And the article (by women) affected objectivity and said that this is both True and False, explaining to the reader that women politicians are indeed more peaceful in terms of policy, but that they often have to over-compensate for (misogynistic) biases that women are too weak.

So, y'know, 100% men's fault.

I guess that's why women kill their offspring at much higher rates than men (regardless of whether the fathers are in the household or not) because she's just trying to overcompensate for (misogynistic) biases that mothers are too weak.

:rolleyes:
