Irony Much? Tranny @SmartAssJen Says Movies Lack ‘Extraordinary’ Women

You have to wonder what psychological defect would inspire transgender activist Jen Richards to send out a tweet suggesting that “extraordinary” men are rare, while “extraordinary” women are everywhere. Given that Richards is not actually female, how does this appear — that is, to people who aren’t as reflexively anti-male as Richards, like the nearly 3,000 feminists who retweeted that particular message of hatred?

Whatever the motive for the original message, the fact that it got so many retweets (and nearly 5,000 “likes”) demonstrates the extent to which feminism is simply an expression of contempt for men. Every feminist, of course, consider herself to be “extraordinary,” and despises all men as her intellectual and moral inferiors. This is why feminism is not (and never has been) a movement about equality, because the leaders of the movement are so full of self-righteous arrogance that their agenda is an endless litany of totalitarian demands. Feminists wish to dictate the terms of an “equality” in which men have no rights whatsoever, except perhaps the right to remain silent. Feminism is always a lecture and never a debate, because the feminist considers males to be so vastly inferior to herself that she never wants to hear anything a man has to say.

The assertion that “extraordinary” women are absent from movies is simply false, a propaganda claim that is nevertheless promoted by feminists as part of their campaign to extort money from Hollywood. Women in the industry — actresses, writers, directors, etc. — want a bigger piece of the pie, and specious complaints about “sexism” in Hollywood are just a politically correct way of saying, “More for me!”

 

Capitulating to such mau-mau tactics is what leads to box-office blunders like the feminist Ghostbusters remake, which is projected to lose $70 million for Sony. Although studio executives keep giving anonymous quotes insisting the total loss will be less than projected, the film’s financial failure is indisputable. Despite all the media hype generated by Sony’s massive publicity blitz, Ghostbusters dropped out of the box-office top 10 within a month of its release, and in the past three weeks, generated only $4.7 million, a pathetic average of less than $2,000 per theater, and by last week, Ghostbusters was showing in fewer than 500 theaters nationwide. Nor will foreign sales suffice to make this feminist flop break even. Ghostbusters has grossed less than $15 million in Great Britain, less than $10 million in Australia and $9 million in Japan.

Unlike feminists — who can’t stand to see men succeed in anything — most people actually like watching movies with male heroes. The action thriller Jason Bourne opened #1 at the box office and is still in the top 10 after five weeks. The production budget for this Matt Damon film ($120 million) was actually less than the $144 million budget for the feminist Ghostbusters remake. In further contrast, Jason Bourne has actually made more in overseas markets (nearly $200 million in five weeks) than in the United States. Yes, believe it or not, there is a worldwide demand for movies with heterosexual white male American heroes.

 

Only in America — where academia and the news media are controlled by progressives who promote a left-wing ideological stew of white guilt, feminism, LGBT activism and other politically correct nonsense — does anyone believe that there’s something wrong with audiences cheering for Matt Damon as he battles shadowy forces of evil.

Speaking of shadowy forces of evil, what does it say about feminism that the movement accepts in its ranks men who pretend to be women, so long as these faux-females gleefully denounce men who are actually men? Doesn’t this expose the hideous intensity of feminism’s anti-male hatred? See if you notice a pattern in these messages.

Go ahead, feminists, and promote the hateful man-bashing messages of Jen Richards. Obviously, “she” is as much a woman as you are.
