women running around.

now. qualifiers.

i havent seen it.

he knew nothing about the feminist perspective.

he just got back in town and hit the drive thru, with no idea what he and a 'friend' would watch

he started with ... a stupid movie of too long chase scenes and fights and horrible dialogue.

(he didnt know it was the blockbuster and that he was supposed to be awed)

my concern when i started hearing it advertised to peak interest with feminism/mra battle was that it just might not be.

when i asked son about the feminist perspective, he snorted.

i have to wonder if it is another tattoo girl (men who hate women) that proclaimed to be feminist and was no more than a middle age mans wet dream

so.... anyone that has seen it with a keen eye to feminism, please let me know.
