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 
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.
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. 
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 
Yeah, there was a feminist critic who make a imdb account just to bash saw 3D for being offensive to women… 
Thats dumb I love Saw…its about people being tortured and shes concerned with it being offensive to women…?? 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. 
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
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.
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.
That’s a good point, MG. I wish they had kept that deleted scene where Helen defended being a mom…that would have been great. <3
Personally, I’m tired of radical Feminists(note: I said radical) attacking men and hating them. 
Honestly, I dislike the majority of famous feminists, particularly certain authors. Women like these people really defeat the purpose of what
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton did. EQUAL rights goes both ways, morons. Get that in your head. 
Ugh, I consider myself a feminist, but I think that this writer’s too extreme.
-Firstly, when Mr Incredible strangles Mirage, it is not intended to be funny. The reviewer may have found the noises silly, but that was unintentional on the filmmaker’s part.
-
Her criticism of the newspaper article is irelevant to the quality of the film. The filmmakers did not write the article, so the use of the phrase “the family unit” has no relation to the film itself and spending a couple of paragraphs complaining about it is a waste of time.
-
Frozone is not a victim of his own incompetence- his wife moved his supersuit (I think. In the film it seems that way).
-
I don’t see why Edna being voiced by a man makes her portrayal sexist. Women do the voices for animated guys all of the time, and many of these characters are presented in an unflattering way. Besides, if the character herself is sexist (which I don’t think she is), then the person voicing her wouldn’t really change anything.
-Uh… Mr Incredible and Elastigirl were already planning on getting married that day. The reviewer seems to think that they literally met for the first time when they beat up the thief.
- I agree that Bob is quite selfish at times, but I think thats the point of his character.
-I also agree that it would be nice to have seen some of Helen’s life outside of the house, although I think that it would take away from the fact that she is angry at Bob for not being involved enough in the family. If she went out to see her friends onscreen, presumably they’d have to show Bob babysitting and being more involved, which would make their arguments less impactful.
I have more complaints, but this post was getting a bit long and ranty lol.
I agree with your whole post, but I’m glad you pointed this out. It is part of his character, and it’s not like he stayed like that! He changed during the film and his journey. That’s good character development and good story, something that this femanist reviewer doesn’t understand.
