Opinion: Hollywood’s War On Men Is A War On Their Audience

Six months ago, I wrote an article entitled The Top 10 Most Misandrist Films Of The #MeToo Era.
What was most surprising about that list isn’t the fact that we managed to limit ourselves to only 10 movies, but that there has been an unhealthy number of films coming out of Hollywood, in just the last few years, that have gone out of their way to target men. Hollywood is at an all-out war against men.
Hollywood studios, and the corporations behind them, incessantly feeding anti-male propaganda to the overwhelming majority of their audience may sound like a ridiculous statement to the uninformed. Reality paints a different picture, however.
All you have to do is look at the biggest movies of the year and ask the question, how come every single one of them has a message that condemns the male gender?
Some could argue that in 2024 the harmony between men and women is at an all-time low here in the Western world and that is not by coincidence. For several decades, the West has preached the ideals of a divisive ideology called feminism.
The belief that men and women are not equal is that we have to keep fighting to change society until we are. In Hollywood, the message matters more than the box office. Hollywood saw several big-name box office projects lose Millions upon millions of dollars in 2023, with one big budget flop after another.
As a normal person, if you saw a series of films get rejected by viewers, you may be inclined to change course to win back said members of the audience. But in modern Hollywood winning the hearts of audiences is not the objective — changing the minds of audiences is.
There is one objective of producing one misandrist film after another; to indoctrinate and reshape the minds of young girls. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at the evidence. The biggest film of last year was Barbie — a film about a Stereotypical Barbie who wakes up every day in her perfect world; one that is run by women.
However, Ken’s journey to the real world brings much more dangerous results, as he decides to adopt and introduce ‘the patriarchy’ in Barbieland. In the film, Barbie shares the gospel of feminism to teach the other Barbies that they don’t need a man because they are their own woman.
This is the message that Hollywood wants young girls to adapt to their adult life. Barbie attempts to indoctrinate young girls into an ideology that is adopted by much older, more emotionally broken women — all in hopes that they become older broken women themselves.
Because the message behind Barbie was aimed at young women, to teach feminism and hatred of the patriarchy, the film has been propped up as one of the biggest films of this year’s Hollywood award season. Everything, from best picture to best director to acting categories, is on the table for Barbie; all of it based on the message it sends.
Barbie is not the only film pushing a feminist message to be showered during this year’s award season. For months, progressive critics have been universally praising the film Poor Things, claiming that it has the potential to dominate the Oscar Award season.
Why? Poor Things is a story about a pregnant young woman named Bella who decided to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge. A mad scientist named Baxter (aka God), decides to resurrect Bella’s dead body by taking the brain of her unborn baby and putting it in her head — turning Bella into his very own Frankenstein experiment.
Bella becomes an infant trapped in the body of a 30-year-old woman, who goes on a journey of self-discovery (Hollywood style) which always leads to sexual liberation and prostitution. Poor Things is a film that is soaked in the ideology of the divine feminine. Nihilism, feminism, occultism, and anti-humanism rolled into a vehicle for ‘The Message.’
The film preaches that men want to control women, promoting that their sense of liberation is sleeping with as many men and women as they can. The film wants you to root for a 30-year-old woman with the brain of a child, all the while she has one aggressive sex scene after another. This is the path that Hollywood wants young women to follow.
If a man objects to this path, he’s the problem. Men being the problem is a message that is very strong in the 2023 remake of The Color Purple — a film where every man is a rapist, abuser, or coward by design. In the realm of Hollywood propaganda, their message can only be impactful if there are no redeemable men to debunk it.
If all the men are terrible, you will have no choice but to reject the patriarchy and accept the matriarchy. A film for black women to reinforce to them that they are the heads of the households, the leaders of their destiny, and that they should never allow a man to control their lives, especially their husbands.
Hoping to reshape how the opposite sex feel about each other, Hollywood has unleashed a full on assault on men. Disney Star Wars, which has spent the last 10 years turning one of the most marketable franchises in the history of cinema into a female exclusive brand, just announced that not only are they producing a new female-lead trilogy but also that it will be helmed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy; an activist director who has no problem “making men uncomfortable.”
A multitude of projects such as Mad Max, John Wick, and even Joker are planning to pull focus from it’s male-established characters and refocus the films with a female lead. With films such as the upcoming live-action Snow White, that looks to redefine the classic fairy tale, because in 2024 she doesn’t need a man to save her, you would have to have the IQ of a football to not see the agenda that is at hand here.
Four years ago, I said that the world of intersectional feminism, which has become a celebrated doctrine in Hollywood, becomes a message that tells women that men are their oppressors and putting others ahead of yourself is wrong. The message becomes inherently anti-family, anti-mother and it is celebrated.
What Hollywood wants is women to hate the ideas of marriage, children, families, and men. But whether you’re a man or a woman one thing is certain: Hollywood’s war against men is a war against its audience. Either you’re being targeted in order to stir anger within yourself or you’re being targeted to be the focus of said anger.
