. . . more misogynistic portrayals of women who can’t do anything and who constantly need men to save them.

well I so apologize on behalf of all men. It is all men’s faults that men are on the average bigger and stronger than women, thus making them on the average better in a fight. All men should feel guilty and apologize for this.

We really shouldn’t be getting into this type of discussion, but I’m not saying it’s all men’s fault or something like that. I am a man after all. And sure, men are typically stronger than women. But this is a fantasy film after all, and when the force is involved, your gender shouldn’t matter. Not to mention you can beat someone with things other than brute force.

And no, I’m not asking you to be guilty or apologize, but I think it’s ridiculous that we continue to see such disparity when it comes to the gender of heroes in Hollywood. About fucking time we got a female Jedi in a Star Wars movie.
