"Stupid" Movies That Are Surprisingly Progressive - After Hours

I'm just saying it's nice to see a movie where we are not objects is written in big bold letters on a wall it's refreshing that pregnant woman kicked ass you'll see that all time pregnant when we're kicking ass jr. does Arnold's jr. cannot disagree what'd I miss I was tinkling just don't get why everyone thinks Mad Max fury road is some big ol feminist masterpiece mistress piece point is lots of movies have women in them Michael do you think that feminism is just something having a lot of ladies in it oh yeah I do Katie cuz I'm a super convenient straw man for your argument you wish I'm just saying it's 2015 now you know the women should have to do something in the movie 2014 was years ago that's why I love Kill Bill your lead is a badass woman in fact the whole deadly Viper assassination squad is badass women except bud man what a bitchin feminists movie right yeah I could do without the word bitchin I could also do without that weird trope in movies where only after a woman has extreme violence brought against her by being I don't know shot in the head you know rape and she comes into her true strength and power also it implies that a woman can only be badass if she assumes violent and traditionally masculine tendencies Plus for supposedly self-actualized an independent woman sure does talk about Bill a whole lot no oh [ __ ] right which is why I love Carey does she hardly ever talks about Bill the whole movie now the periods no well actually yeah kind of okay so Kari starts with Kari unloading a shining elevators worth of blood into the showers in her gym locker room right she has no idea what her body's doing and her crazy ass mother keeps telling her that her existence as a woman as a sin and the root of all evil was wait no he was weak say no mama say it okay it's only after she gets her first period that she discovers her telekinesis I mean she start to embrace her womanhood becoming what she truly is which is a badass her mother's emotional abuse doesn't work on her anymore I'm going mama things are gonna change around here yeah sure the source of her power is her femininity instead of some horrible tragedy but she's still adopting a masculine role as soon as she gets mad and kills everybody and isn't the bloody woman revenge prompting a little on the nose for a PMS meta feels nice as it is seeing a woman just owning being covered in blood I get more excited about movies that teach me feminism when I don't even realize it sneaky feminism like movies where women feel no sneaky feminism not sneaky women besides women don't need to steal and kill to be badass just give me an interesting and diverse cast of female characters that don't have to resort to violence to be badasses like Animaniacs seriously give me one you give me one to give a better skinny just give me one give me a first cast I can't I don't like anyone I don't that one god I love dot she's adorable and she's clever she's not afraid to speak her mind she's and slobby this world is great because she shows women that you don't it be happy and cute all the time and then Minerva Maine can morita the hippo I mean two women owning the [ __ ] out of their sexuality but they both have wildly different body types not to mention Rita the cat who was in a very meaningful platonic relationship with a male who is a dog so romance wouldn't even be a good idea because the sex between species she even sings an entire song about not wanting to have children and how her biological clock shouldn't dictate her reproductive choices I'm nobody's mother what about hello nurse whole point of that character is how superhot she is it's not very feminist is it yes but she's also incredibly bright and her sexuality isn't the entirety of her character look if you want to be Minerva mink a woman who steers into her sexiness at every pass you can do that or if you want to be a Brainiac who happens to be incredibly attractive you can do that too Yakko and Wakko sing an entire song about her academic accomplishments and amazing personality PhD speaks fluent Japanese exactly just another example of a woman needing approval from man she doesn't need it she just likes it there's nothing wrong with willing to be desired Animaniacs every proud age size and degree of sexuality is represented and they're all winners a positive identity character for everybody except the men right who were all depicted as drooling idiot oh no chicken boo I guess they really do capture every kind of man that's why I was like Johnny Bravo I mean even though he's like hunky and assertive which is what the media tells us a man should be he still fails miserably any time he tries to hit on a woman huh you smell kind of pretty want to smell me yes and there's that one episode where he gets transformed into a woman and learns a valuable lesson I wouldn't like to be one chick supper look at her yeah it's like that one video of the woman walking through the streets of New York for ten hours except ten years earlier and also an episode of Johnny Bravo the episode even ends with a whole song about how great and strong women are clueless hey screw you man I'm trying hard no clueless about what changing your oil basic social interactions eating a plate of buffalo wings without getting sauce on your shirt nope oh damn it this is why I can't have nice wings or eat wings I want to talk about clueless the movie that movie deals with sex remarkably share is a version but it's not a problem I mean Dionne chides her a little bit but no one makes her feel bad and no one tries to guilt her into sex I'm just not interested in doing it until I find the right person Thai on the other hand has tons of sex but nobody calls her a [ __ ] because of it just doesn't long as you know what isn't it crooked at the start of the movie Dionne and Marie haven't had sex yet but by the end they make the mature adult responsible decision to get a pool have you ever done it in water see now I'm confused so at the end of that movie she gets the guy I thought getting the guy was bad no no no Cher getting with Paul Rudd that's like a completely separate weirdly Brady Bunch movie esque thing that has nothing to do with her arc as a character right she she didn't need to be saved her whole mission the entire movie was to help everybody out to the best of her ability that takes care of our minds and bodies but we should do something good for mankind or the planet for a couple of hours she's confident and isn't afraid to stand up for herself and what she knows I think that I remember Hamlet accurately well I remember Mel Gibson accurately we didn't say that that Polonius guy did and it's sneaky because it's dressed up and pretty girls talking him wearing their knee-high socks and Ally addresses Azzedine Alaia he's an Italian courtier got a lot from clueless this is an Alaia you know what okay so in order to have a feminist movie you have to have female characters who don't rely on hyper masculinity to be awesome showcase a variety of complex personalities without relying on gender stereotypes unless they want to and openly express their love and sexuality in a way that isn't dependent on men to start but yeah okay then I got one but you know what Super Troopers say okay the most feminist movie you can think of is a stoner comedy with six dude highway patrolmen think about it though Ursula is a police officer yet she's stuck on Radio duty cuz she works with a bunch of agro dip well around my house my wife knows to refill the TPD I'm not your wife's my no and if you were I take you down a peg or two however she organizes the big drug ring bust at the end of the movie so well that even though the guys are faced everything still works out you know I always loved that she wasn't a wet blanket when it came to [ __ ] around baby I'm gonna butter your bread or badging around in this particular situation also the German woman in the Porsche I like her of course you did she's a blond-haired blue-eyed beautiful person in a German sports car you are becoming a stereotype of yourself or I'm just owning what I am like all the other wonderful women we've discussed this evening that German couple isn't just using their sexuality to get out of a ticket even though that's obviously what it looks like at first that woman and her husband are free to explore their sexual wants and desires without judgment she chose to leave the car she decides to get frisked meanwhile her husband sitting there watching the whole thing with what I must assume is just the boner her sexuality doesn't belong to anyone like hello nurse the cops are taking advantage of her she is in complete control that's how come later in the movie you see her and her husband enjoying mustache rides with ramathorn and his lady some bananas probably other stuff that we didn't even get to see its boast that Michael won this conversation just because he picked his last he learned what feminism was over the course of this conversation hashtag yes all women gate you know how's your gamers are upset about something are we not allowed to talk about that there's like a gate it's there's a gate that's it's keeping women in ER it's keeping them out or it's keeping games away from women but wow you guys really are out of touch people are upset about this hi everybody thank you for watching this episode of after hours about feminism without which I wrote and that and I was very excited about it I was the eye candy if you'd like to learn more about feminism you can go to your local library and just been any book with a woman on it you can read it that's how feminism in a book any book that a woman is reading solve it take it from them I'm here I don't know why they wouldn't let me anyway I'm here though
