http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/wonder-woman-womens-only-screening-texas-alamo-drafthouse-1008043The offense was just too much for some men to bear.
It's time to pour one out for the countless male tears that are being shed in Austin, Texas over a grave injustice they feel is being committed against the fragile male species. A movie theater in Austin is daring to host gasp a women-only screening of Wonder Woman.

"I hope someone sues this is discrimination based on sex," remarked one man on Twitter. "Great, let us know when you have guys-only screenings of Thor, Spider-Man, Star Wars, etc. Let's see you walk the walk now that you set this precedence," said a Facebook commentator, who meant to say precedent.
The Drafthouse is replying to many of the complaints. When one man asked if they had ever held a men-only screening, the Drafthouse said, "We've never done showings where you had to be a man to get in, but we *did* show the 'Entourage' movie a few years ago." They also encouraged someone else to host a private men-only event if they so desired.

The over hyped bastion of Liberalism in Texas. There's plenty of stupid to go around there.
