Mad Max's villains are caricatures of misogyny which makes overt misogynists angry but does not challenge more prevalent forms of sexism.

We’re starved for representations of powerful women but we need to re-imagine concepts of power & move beyond the glorification of violence.

@femfreq the camera does no such thing, and it's rather tacky and misleading to misdirect your followers this way.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
