And the trend continues with potraying men as weak and clumsy and women as superior and strong
The 'trend' has been going a long time, What about Torchy Blane from the 1930'sshe always outsmarted her dumb male counterparts.

I would take your post apart and destroy every part of it, but you are not worth the effort, you are too dumb to understand.

Any of the scifi films from the 50's and 60's depict the female lead as intelligent and on the same page as the men. Only when he shooting starts do they tend to take a back seat but not necessarily. In 1944's "Captain America" and female lead shoots dead as bad guy at point blank range and does not even blink!
The thing is the late 60's and 70's equal rights movement created a sub movement of feminists who wanted nothing to do with equality but wanted men simply out of the picture. What is one of their slogans? "A woman needs a man about as much as a fish needs a bicycle." That ideology made it's way to the still male dominated Hollywood who incorporated these women are better than men and do not need them beliefs into popular entertainment to appeal to that base. -

a) really? wow
b) this movie would not have worked the same with a male role since it depended her being like his daughter and his need for some one like that in his life.
c) its pretty sad woman are getting more main rolls in movies and tv series how? There's still plenty of male lead series and movies so what the problem?
d) the men aren't portrayed as weak and clumsy, in this Emmett was shown as a nice guy, who was brave af and litterly took a bullet for her. In GoT theres still plenty of great male characters, in fact the two of the three main characters are male (Jon and Tyrion).

Pointing me out on spelling is just one hell of a poor argument.. -

I don't believe the OP to be trolling. There is a new strain of beardy disaffected young men who seem to believe that things have gone far enough for women and that they should shut up.
I assume they (the men involved) feel so powerless in this world that they need something or some section of society to blame for their ills.
Check youtube for many videos by young men (20/30's) ranting about women.
British press comments pages always have the same rants, some of them very bitter. -

Yes, how dare a film feature a female character in a leading role who isn't an incapable weakling who needs to be rescued by a man. The horror! Must be those pesky 'feminazis' at work again. Sigh.
For what it's worth, feminism is a movement that strives for equality for both sexes. It does not claim that women are superior, or that we should be "on top", just that we desire and deserve equal opportunities to men. ALL women should be feminists and should never feel like they have a apologise for being one. It's really a shame that the idea of equality is still so offensive to so many people.
The sad thing is, I came on this board fully expecting to find a thread like this on page 1 and as usual, IMDB did not disappoint.

Seriously, you are nothing but a damn troll who has obviously never picked up an actual American history book if you actually believe all the bull**** you just posted. Sexism is real, always has been. And damn near 99% of movies (especially from Hollywood) feature mainly men in the action roles in action movies. As far as action movie heroines go, look how long it been taking to get a Wonder Woman franchise off the ground-as popular as superhero films are now, there's still this belief in Hollywood that a film featuring a female superhero won't pull in the big box office bucks (even though some male superhero films haven't made it at the box office,either.) Heck, the only films I can think of that I've seen this year with a woman doing action as the lead is the drug cartel thriller SICARIO, and this film. And before that, MAD MAX:FURY ROAD (which started this whole recent whining about women being the leads in action films, which is still stupid and dumb as hell.) You obviously don't know jack about feminism, or real American history, and that's why you sound like an idiot.
Check out the recent documentary SHE'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE'S ANGRY about the history of American feminism (as told by feminists themselves.) It's good, and you'll have fun learning some real history as opposed to the ridiculous unreal version you just made up while drunk as hell or something. -

as much as i dislike regressive feminist crap of the modern days that is definitely the opposite of equality, i did not feel like this was that kind of movie. in fact i think a lot of the things that happened in the movie wouldnt even work if the lead wasnt female.
the issues in the movie are only in the very end where in a matter of minutes a panicking lead becomes a confident alien killer, but it would have been a pretty cheesy ending regardless of who the lead would have been. -

Why don't you comfort yourself in the fact that everything that women now have, equality, power, etc. was given to them by men because they chose to, because they were sick of listening to their whining about it, and they could take it back so very easily? That everything women can choose to give, if men weren't so nice, they could just takebut they currently choose not to?

This argument comes up over and over again. And the answer to it is maybe women generally are just not as interested in this line of work as some men are so don't put in as much effort to get to these "top-of-the-tree" positions.
Same way you don't see many men at the top of other industries that women are generally more interested in.
And by generally I mean what percentage of male/female are interested in a certain industry. So if the split of men/women interested in becoming a movie director is 80/20 then obviously the men are more likely to end up on top. That's not discrimination or some sort of inequality against women - it's basic maths!
