re: 'Birds of Prey' bombs at the box office — and feminists are blaming sexism

quote:

the fact that almost every female character in the movie is where they are because they are a victim of some man's assholery

That’s a stretch. Perez is the only one singled out by men because of her sex. Canary and the kid get into their own trouble, Huntress is a wash (evil and good men in her origin), Harley and Joker aren’t your typical wronged woman scenario.

The a-hole men in these origins are less prevalent than Joe Chill killing Batman’s parents or the male science council members forbidding Jor-el from saving his family. Let’s face it, the average bad guy is male, especially when it comes to the origin of the hero.
