One doesn't have to. Because the little snots can. It's just a single showing at a tiny time period.

Oh man, I didn't know this was so widespread that every theater in the area was only allowing women into every showtime of Wonder Woman. I see the problem now.

This screening is happening a week after the release and its not like the theater is prohibiting men from seeing the movie for the entire duration that its going to be in theaters.

That's exactly why I avoided having children, so I don't have to explain to my son why he can't go to the same public restroom as his sister, or why he can't play on the same football team, or why he can't play the same role in ballet or theatre productions, or why he can't join Curves.

Is it sexist? Definitely. Does it matter? Not really.

How is it sexist?

Change female to male. Disallowing women to view it would be sexist. The term is not unidirectional.

This is just a bunch of lame dudes complaining about something. Probably the same kind who hated on Fury Road.

But now presented with the first truly major film in that mold, and this is being celebrated by women. That is not a problem nor is it sexist. If anything, this is a step away from the sexist element of the story. This is like saying why do people roll their eyes about White Men Marches, when compared to Women Marches and Minority Based Marches. The context is rather obvious imo.

I did love people freaking out about the feminist story of Fury Road, and thus this somehow ruined the film if they acknowledged it.

Reframing it like this is some kind of important event is justifying a reversal of what has happened in the past where women were excluded. Trying to deny this is sexist negates the entire definition. It really is that simple. But this is not about that, this is about putting on a show (literally) to say how progressive you are and completely missing the irony of "we're about equality, just not to men." But as I said the first time, it is not worth all the arguing that is going on about it. Though clearly some people enjoy debating that. |

Lame dudes are funny. The more they complain, the more women-only screenings that will pop up and the more money the movie will make.
The only losers here are the lame dudes. Justifiably so. Hilarious.

And because I'm bored, without your pops you would never have been conceived and born either. Does no one remember the definition of equality anymore?

It's literally one theater showing one (now two)screening on one day. That is it.

Also waiting for the inevitable claim I am some how a MRA because pointing out this is sexist somehow equates to that. |

Go outside if you're bored. All this is doing is making you look like a whiner, really.

This is the Trump Era, BN, false equivalencies are now facts. A movie having a women-only night one or two days over the entire run of a major motion picture is the same as widespread pay inequity or sexual harassment.
