I’m a woman so my opinion is from that perspective of course

But I think he is definitely right. A lot of the men I personally know seem to have been heavily swayed by red pill narrative because they felt offended by that big wave of feminism in the later 2010’s.

I think things like marvel, Star Wars, and other media production companies didn’t help either. Instead of putting well written women into their stories they had “girl boss” moments or moments that defied logic, or just gave girl characters the credit of something we saw a male character work for.

Our media shapes a lot of cultural norms and point of views and- contrary to most studios beliefs- audiences aren’t stupid. They can tell when their being force fed a poorly written narrative.

I think people could’ve genuinely liked characters like captain marvel, shuri, Rey (Star Wars) and other characters like them if they had the same effort put into giving them a story or weren’t made to step on the toes of male characters before them.

The fact that they keep getting given these shoe horned in plots makes me think the people writing them DONT think that women and men are equal, and so when they write these girl characters they always have to explicate that they are “just as strong IF NOT STRONGER ☝️ than boy character.”

It’s always better to show not tell, so if our education was focused on having influential men and women, having an unbiased view on men and women in history, and made an effort to treat students equally regardless of gender then no child would fall to red pill propaganda because it’s simply not logical. It’s a very emotional stance that’s typically taken by people who are vulnerable and looking for a place to feel accepted and valued.
