Feminist criticism isn’t about ripping something to shreds or making others feel guilty for liking it. It’s simply about pointing out a specific creative weakness and then taking that a step further to explain the real-world social ramifications of that weakness, all in the hopes of dissuading future filmmakers from making the same mistake.
“But Miri!” you might protest. “This article is wrong because some feminists do rip things to shreds and claim that I’m a bad person if I enjoy those things!”
“Well!” I might respond. “I disagree with those people, but I didn’t birth them and therefore am not responsible for their actions and opinions.”
