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.

@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?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq The wives as a means to make healthy babies, the women for their milk, the Warboys and Nux as disposable fodder for the road. -

@KateDrawsComics@femfreq You can even say the people living below Citadel were victims, too. They're basically being held hostage by water. -

@KateDrawsComics@femfreq This! And there were SO MANY elements, a lot of them purely visual. I can see how they might be hard to see.

@femfreq And personal agency is a pretty important thing for me as a feminist. -

@femfreq Not the message of the movie. It's about the rejection of toxic masculinity that treats people (men AND women) as disposable... -
@femfreq In favor of people LITERALLY lifting each other up and celebrating fertility over death. "Our children will not be warlords." -
@femfreq If what you got from FURY ROAD was "women can drive really fast and kill people too" then you *profoundly* missed the film's point.

@femfreq I think it shows a level of progress that the mainstream can and should continue to build upon. Just my thoughts.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq The focus of the movie was actually pretty great in how it posed that women AND men are victims of a patriarcal system.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq Max never treated them as objects, leered at them or made passes at them, and neither did the camera--Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq What we got instead was women planning their own escape, fighting, learning, adapting and surviving while Max passively helped.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq Even the warboy who starts as cannon fodder ends as a fully developed character learning what true sacrifice means. (Hence, tragic)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@femfreq I also think the violence was often tragic. "She went under the wheels," "you would've had a brother," "witness me."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
