      I’m not one to shy away from expressing unpopular opinions. So here goes. I saw Fury Road. I get why people like it. But it isn’t feminist.

      On the surface, Mad Max is about resisting a cartoonish version of misogyny. But that resistance takes the form of more glorified violence.

      Fury Road is different from many action films in that it lets some women participate as equal partners in a cinematic orgy of male violence.

      Feminism doesn't simply mean women getting to partake in typical badass "guy stuff". Feminism is about redefining our social value system.

      Sometimes violence may be necessary for liberation from oppression, but it's always tragic. Fury Road frames it as totally fun and awesome.

      As a film Mad Max absolutely adores its gritty future. The camera caresses acts of violence in the same way it caresses the brides' bodies.

      "We are not things” is a great line, but doesn’t work when the plot and ESPECIALLY the camera treats them like things from start to finish.

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

          Viewers get to feel good about hating cartoon misogyny without questioning themselves or examining how sexism actually works in our society.

          It makes me profoundly sad that mainstream pop culture now interprets feminism to mean “women can drive fast and stoically kill people too!”

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

          @femfreq All your points are super valid. But saying "it's not feminism"? Can't there be different forms of progress? Is this none at all?

          @femfreq only the leading villains are caricatures of misogyny. Most others are blind followers. They represent lack of free thinking moreso

          @femfreq The treatment of Max and Nux seems to challenge the notion that vaguely nice men are inherently worthy of female praise/adoration.

          @femfreq Aren't sex-slaves still unfortunately existent in many countries though? That doesn't seem like a caricature.

          @femfreq nux's entire character arch was about dispelling toxic masculinity and the patriarchy. when do films do this for male characters?

          @femfreq How would you propose the movie could have handled it better? Knowing about the lore of the universe and it being an action movie?

          @femfreq feminism is about equity,redefining our social value system is entirely different ?
