Do you really wanna trust an old misogynistic and prejudiced person to give an (as close as human begins can get to an) objective review of anything?

And what is your basis for making this claim? Just race and sex?

Specifically forty year old white men over a single film. Such injustice. How will they be able to cope with it?

My basis is that seems to be who she was specifically calling out. And conservatism in older white religious Republican men is really about clinging to values that died out in the sixties, and good riddance, died for a REASON.

Jesus when will you righties learn that rules surrounding identity metrics only affect identities that are under conditions of oppressed or marginalized circumstances? That has always been the case that progressives are pushing. It's not about being nice to superficial attributes. The pretense here is that white men don't fall under those categories.
