She wants to teach a) girls don’t have to be nice. b) girls can be great at sports c)girls can be in charge and c)girls do not have to marry.She was an abusive nutjob you fucking numpty Also implied she was a murderer. And she broke Mrs Honeys arm as a child. Fuck off with that praise a feminist shitbag bullshit. Man-hating, child abusing, power hungry, and angry, sociopath. Idk about ya’ll but Trunchbulll definitely sounds like the epitome of a radical feminist to me.One of the most accurate depictions of feminism in films?Miss trunchbull is a perfect example of Hollywood’s anti-feminist propaganda. Matilda is one of the very few handful of films to feature a non-feminine, athletic, unwed female character and she’s casted in a negative light. She’s portrayed as @amarretto-cowboy so derisively put, “man-hating” “child-abusing” “power hungry” “angry” sociopath". Its a trope in popular media. Another example is the dalmatians movie starring Glenn close. The villain is a confident, powerful, unwed business woman. Positive traits commonly associated with men are considered evil when they’re associated with women. Its sexist as fuck.Wtf are you talking about? Trunchbull was also a murderer who admits to breaking the arm of the daughter of the man she murdered for his wealth only to threaten do so again.Matilda and the live action version of 101 Dalmations came out in 1996.That same year several films featuring strong defiant unwed female characters. Twister- Helen Hunt playing an independent rebel badass tornado chaser.A Time To Kill- Sandra Bullock playing a badass unwed independent hardnosed paralegal taking on the KKK head on in a defense murder trial and knowingly risking her life to doScream- Neve Campbell playing an unwed independent badass who takes down 2 murderers conspiring to kill her when no one else could.Hunchback of Notre Dame- Demi Moore playing a tough and rebellious unwed romani woman who stands up to the oppression of her people and inspires a revolt against their ethnic cleansing.All were very much casted in a positive light.Good Lord. Try forming your own opinions instead of parroting your gender studies professor’s.I wasn’t saying that miss trunchbull was a misunderstood character or anything like that. I was trying to state is that her character - a physically robust, non-feminine “un-attractive” woman being portrayed as evil does more harm than good to young impressionable minds that see these depictions in the media and associate female gender-non conformity/masculinity with negative perceptions. Its good to know that there are badass, unwed female characters out there that I wasn’t aware of. Although the aforementioned characters in your movie list are portrayed as traditionally feminine, so my original point stands.I’ve never taken a gender studies class in my life. Good to know you don’t judge a book by it’s cover though lol. Physically robust and unattractive are often the descriptions of a villain regardless of gender.You didn’t know about the other characters? How? Those movies came out the same year as the ones youre complaining about and we more popular. How were they traditionally feminine? The only one that wore a dress was Esmeralda and she mocked femininity in the movie escape guards as she fought with them. Your original point is dead in the water.You may have not taken a gender studies but you’re clearly parroting someone else’s opinion instead of forming your own.Are you really this obtuse? There is no shortage of physically robust, unattractive male characters who’re portrayed positively. I can count the number of positive depictions of female characters that resemble trunchbull (in terms of physique, make-up free face, non-feminine) on one hand . A majority of the strong, independent female characters you listed cannot be described as GNC or masculine, the actresses are wearing a butt-load of makeup and don’t get me started on the sexed up Esmeralda.I’m not parroting anything. Everything I’ve said is purely from my own observations.Not obtuse at all. More often than not, the unattractive male characters are viewed as aloof, rude, neglectful, etc. Look no further than Matilda. Her father played by Danny DeVito took little interest in her and her brother in the movie was a self centered jerk and bully.You admitted you werent aware of the characters I mentioned yet you then claim they were seen as feminine and wearing a butt-ton of make up. No. No they werent. Watch the movies.Youre parroting. Ive heard this exact argument from others before and they were in fact parroting a lecture from gender studies professor.Do you really need me to pop out a graph to illustrate my point? Think about the positive portrayals of unattractive, masculine male characters in the media vs. the positive portrayals of unattractive, masculine female characters. Why don’t you get it? I wasn’t aware of most of the movies you listed because I don’t watch a whole lot of movies. From the movies I have seen growing up, I noticed a pattern. It doesn’t take a genius to acknowledge that its standard practice on movie sets for actresses have to sit in the makeup chair for hours before shooting. So yes, while the actresses may not look like birthday clowns they are wearing a shit-ton of make-up. I’m not going to be replying anymore. As they say, you can bring a jackass to water but you can’t force it to drink.Fun fact: every damn person you see in a movie regardless of gender is wearing a fuck ton of make up. Every single one. You are making an argument based on something you say you dont consume much off. Just say you have no clue what you’re talking about“It’s not my fault I’m an ignorant idiot spouting my mouth off on things I know jack about.”They’re complaining about Trunchbull being a masculine woman framed in a negative light, but they neglect to remember Matilda’s mother, a stereotypical feminine house wife, who is also shown negatively and as a antagonist. Miss honey was different, not because she was feminine, but because she was kind.Also, she mentioned Cruella Deville, the villain from 101 Dalmations… who was a rich old lady who wore a dress, had a fuck ton of make-up on, was very stereotypically feminine (just old, and thus portrayed as “ugly”) who was so entitled and obsessed with her appearance that she wanted to skin 101 puppies to make clothing items. I don’t think she can really fit what she’s complaining about, with all that in mind. They are just mad anytime women are protrayed as evil -- source link
