The politicization of Wonder Woman [View all]
Of course, you knew it would happen. Any person or character that carries the label 'feminist icon' is bound to eventually be attacked by sexists and racists. Already faux-outraged by women-only showings of the film that are raising money for Planned Parenthood ("little baby killers"
and women's shelters ("free hotel stays for welfare leeches" , misogynists are invading comment sections of the film reviews with comments like these:
* WW is a typical grrrl power movie; just plain idiocy. Hollywood doesn't want male customers any more, I guess, but will promote this silly movie for the sake of a fellow (((tribe member))) from Israel (Gal Gadot).
* More feminist trash by Joolywood.
* There is no such thing as antisemitism. It is a word made up by Jews so its more difficult to criticize them. They even admit to this.
* Is there any girl on girl action in it? Or do we have to wait for the extended directors cut? Gotta love how Patty Jenkins and Gadot like to show off their racks.
Now, National Review is out with their take on why the movie is getting overwhelming positive reviews, which begins like this:
"Could film critics — virtually all of them ardent progressives — be grading on a curve, the way the Army gives women two and a half more minutes than men to be credited with the top score in a two-mile run? Movie reviews are as susceptible to virtue-signaling as any other form of lefty writing."
Anyone else following this trend or noticed?
