“Unmasking the Bias: 60 Iconic Films That Missed Women’s Perspectives in Their Storytelling”
Anything with 90% of men being the protagonist and the overly-objectified women who are only there as love interests.
Lemme add another pet peeve of mine. Strong women characters. When the strong woman character is written and she behaves like a man: fights like a man, is a tomboy, has interests in science or building things. These are things that men value and view as strong. These are female characters written by men imagining that what makes a strong woman is a woman who acts like a man. They are not what makes a strong woman.
ETA the strong woman who doesn’t communicate or suffers in silence. Again…a man attempting to write a strong woman character and making them behave like a man.
Pretty much every, manic-pixie-girl, who’s a huge extrovert, lives an amazing action-packed life, inexplicably falls in love with the quiet, introverted guy who does nothing to show any value and she makes it her personal mission to bring him out of his shell. They’re not always the manic-pixie aesthetic, but the concept is the same.
I can’t imagine any Adam Sandler movies holding up especially well tbh .
Supernatural
The sheer amount of times that the woman costars died instead of their male ones was enough that people started memeing it. And then the people in charge got all mad when we started shipping them with the other male characters. They’ve got no one to blame, but their own s****y writing.
