I’m sure that a crappy girl-power movie brings misogynists out of the woodwork, so I’m not doubting that, but I think we might be disagreeing on whether or not being opposed to remaking Ghostbusters with women is misogynist in and of itself.

EDIT: Also, I would call them apples and oranges, but because TFA was a real movie that happened to have a female lead; Ghostbusters is a pointless remake with one of its main purposes and gimmicks being replacing the original cast members with women. That’s why it’s so hated.

As I said, I’m sure a disastrous trailer like this with such a goofy premise draws misogynists in from all over the internet, but let’s not pretend that this would have been received well had it been the same trailer yet with four men.
