A feminist reviewer gives the incredibles a bad review

This article is enough to put a WTF expression on Trollmond White’s face.

So we finally found someone worst that armond white :laughing: :laughing:

I agree with Violet Parr completely. And I personally look up to housewives.

I’m going to get it for going here, but that’s too bad. Did you know that scientific studies show that girls hit puberty earlier if their mother has a job? Or even moves out!! Housewives rock, and they’re some of the greatest heroes of all.

I thought Elastigirl kicked @$$ in the movie so these women are just girls who are angry at the world because when they were 3 some little boy stole there cookie lol Incredibles rock and i think its empowers females go Elastigirl :exclamation:

Wow. I guess that lady read waaaay to much into it. I’m not sure why having Helen be a housewife was seen as a bad thing. But I guess thats the way some feminists are. Feminism is about having the right to choose anyway. I’m sure if she wanted to be a career woman she totally could have. But she chose to be a housewife. And there’s no shame in that. Raising a family is a very demanding job.

You’re absolutely right!! And, in Brad’s commentary on one of the deleted scenes, Brad said he wanted Helen to defend being a mother. I wish they’s kept that scene.

I wish Feminists were the way they used to be. I mean, really. They accomplished because they acted, and made a difference, instead of whining. You should find a solution through problem solving, not finger-pointing and fussing.

:astonished: :open_mouth: :imp: This woman is an idiot…Helen has to be one of the greatest female animated characters ever and she was happy being a housewife and a mother…

I love you. :laughing:

:smiley: :sunglasses: Sometimes I hate reviewers they can be soooo stupid…

Especially when they want movies to be “politically correct”

Exactly…its a movie about superheroes…clearly it isnt real life…but that doesnt mean that the reviewers have to hate on it :imp: :frowning:

Yeah, there was a feminist critic who make a imdb account just to bash saw 3D for being offensive to women… :unamused:

Thats dumb :unamused: I love Saw…its about people being tortured and shes concerned with it being offensive to women…?? :open_mouth: what an idiot.

Theres also another one made by the same reviewer of this post that reviewed Finding nemo, i dont wanna post it because its really stupid

I’ll take your word for it. :slight_smile:

I know! I mean, hello it’s a movie, not reality! Some of the greatest animated movies aren’t politically correct. (like Three Caballeros and Song of the South)

I totally agree with you guys. It’s a cartoon, not a political science video. Besides, I’m female, and I found The Incredibles anything but offensive. <3 :laughing:

Thank you. And Amen! Housewives are awesome! My mom works, but she has too. I love it when she’s home! (Which is most of the time, because she even works nights so we can be together while Dad’s working.) I totally agree!

My mom used to work, but now she’s in college. I liked her better for the short period of time where she was always home. Life was easier, and it gets really depressing now. :frowning:

In my view feminism is about choice. Basically, someone should be allowed to do what they want to do on the basis of their ability to do so rather than perhaps prevented from doing so on the basis of gender or race or any other form of difference or division which really wasn’t matter or affect their ability to do the job.

This includes housekeeping. If a woman, through her own choice and desires chooses to be a housewife because it makes her happy and its what she wants well, that’s fine. As long as they’re not say trying to say that is the ONLY choice women should have or that the woman’s place is ultimately always the home then she is still a feminist. It’s about choice, and excluding housekeeping as an adequate choice is detrimental in of itself and perhaps (almos)t as detrimental as saying that it should be the only one. Women who work are not ‘house breakers’ or ‘unfit mothers’. House keepers are not ‘betraying their gender’ or ‘slaves to their husband’. (They only do that if they say girls and boys have their own roles which should NEVER be crossed after all. Which hurts boys too.)

True gender equality is about choices being only influenced by ability to complete said task rather than because of gender or some other factor which doesn’t matter in terms of completing that task.

This actually also applies to men- men should also feel like they can also fulfill more traditionally considered feminine roles, like say nursing, teaching (while more gender equal it is more female dominated in schools) or heck being a house-husband, and should be told it doesn’t make them ‘less of a man’ for doing so.

It’s perfectly possible to be a feminist and a housewife.
