The main question will be how well it does next weekend. BVS had a huge drop off. Wonder Woman could have a similar problem.

Nah, WW has like a 97% RT score and great word of mouth. It will do well next week. Maybe like a 50% drop?


I'm just wondering how many feminists that came out to support WW in the name of girl power drove up the box office-- I know multiple women that did just that and who otherwise never watch superhero movies.

I'm guessing it will be more than a 50% drop, but not the huge drop that BVS had.

I've said before that this is an unintended consequence of the successes of feminism.

No, I don't mean that in a "feminists are trying to sabotage men" kind of neckbeardy way. I mean that actions, even well intended, often have unforeseen consequences.

For better or worse, traditional gender roles had a purpose and they were rather effective. I say this because, if you want to get a man to work and sacrifice for productivity, you need to give him an effective purpose and motive. There was a time when that was because he had to provide for his wife and children. When gender roles have diminished, there's a lot less drive compelling men to work tough jobs to provide for a family they might not necessarily have.

Compounding that is the expanded labor pool by women increasingly participating, which, I suspect, reduces the value of employees. That is, when you have potentially twice as many employee options for employers after the other half of the population enters the workforce, employers have less motive to keep wages and benefits decent.

On top of that, there is virtually no socially conscious movement to get boys and men involved. No social movement to improve boys' completetion of high school or participation in secondary school. And, perhaps worse, when men do speak up on the struggles boys and young men have regarding education, they are met with a combination of mockery, hostility, and dismissal by social activists. It's more difficult to gather social support for the issues uniquely effecting men and boys than girls. Men are expected to take responsibility for themselves and their outcomes in a way that makes it difficult to rally as a group.

Not that men tend to be inclined to think of themselves as a cohesive social group in the first place.

I'm sure there's more to it, but that's my limited observation.

TL,DR: Social changes over the decades have left men with unique challenges and we haven't had an effective social movement to address those yet.


Good post.
