Mad Max has women, who talk and do things and fight etc while Max takes orders, says very little and gets the poo poo beaten out of him.

That really really doesn't sound like movies 1 and 2 (which are very good, to be fair).

Like the two women I can think of offhand in movie 2 are "raped and crucified on a car windshield" and "warrior girl with crossbows".

I'm always somewhat astounded when guys like Muir decide to prove how "ridiculous" a notion like feminism is by drawing women with their tits out or in otherwise sexualized poses. "Feminism is a stupid and unnecessary thing, and to prove it I'm going to reduce a woman to a sexual object and belittle the idea of equality!"

I mean hell, the bad guy in the film at one point literally says,"That's my child you're carrying, that's my property!" and Muir is coming down on THAT guy's side?

Also someone posted this Newsweek article to my Facebook feed, about cartoons from the Mideast about ISIS. It was published in response to Pamela Geller's statement that "Islam does not allow humor."


The Distortion of Islam


This one is specifically in reference to the videos ISIS keeps making promoting itself and terrorizing its victims


The frame says "Image of Islam"


From the article: "ISIS slaughters the Assyrian Lamassu of Nineveh, Iraq". A lamassu is a protective deity from Mesopotamian culture often depicted in statues (which may be found, of course, in museums in London, Paris, Berlin, Chicago and New York as well as in Iraq itself)


There's another one. Shirt on the right says "Humanity," shirt on the left says "Heritage of humanity".

Debt. Let me tell you how much debt the US has accumulated since Obama became president. There are 387.44 million miles of political cartoons I have produced in the course of my career. If the word 'debt' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the debt the nation is under in this micro-instant. Because of him. Debt. Debt.

Yeh. The MRA / RedPill types are definetively on the side of the bad guys in the Madverse - and they always would have been. Might makes right, hyper-masculinity, domination and brutality towards those "weaker" (including all of the female gender). It's pretty much their MO. Muir - and other RedPill bastards - would NOT be Max, they would be with Toecutter, taking what they wanted from "Beta" males and then getting curbstomped for it once they pissed off the wrong "Beta" (i.e. someone ACTUALLY like Max - who is NOT someone who would rape and enslave or otherwise control women).
