Women only Wonder Woman screening
Permalink  
 


The most iconic superheroine in comic book history finally has her own movie, and what better way to celebrate than with an all-female screening?

Apologies, gentlemen, but we’re embracing our girl power and saying “No Guys Allowed” for one special night at the Alamo Ritz. And when we say “People Who Identify As Women Only,” we mean it. Everyone working at this screening -- venue staff, projectionist, and culinary team -- will be female.

So lasso your geeky girlfriends together and grab your tickets to this celebration of one of the most enduring and inspiring characters ever created.

This is discrimination!

This is not what Wonder Woman was about.

So many women have tried to break the "men's only" establishment, only now to try and start a "women's only" one? I don't think so. You don't get to have it both ways. Of course, I read the "those that identify as women" - so the guys should just dress up in drag and go.

It's discrimination.

You know there is no way a men only screening of anything would be ok.

Men only

Women only

Black only

White only

Straight only

Gay only

There are three of those "only" that would cause law suits.

 It's the point.  Men have had their men's only things taken away on the basis of "gender equality".

 

 

Either you can discriminate based on gender, or you can't.  Make up your mind.

Nothing wrong with an All Girls night out. However, there is nothing wrong with a Men's night either. There is nothing wrong with all girls' schools or all men's schools and teams as well. The problem is the feminists only want it to apply one way and not the other.

Yes, but don't make some big self righteous thing out of it.

If women want to do this type of stuff, why make a big production of it? Why not just do it and be done with it? This "in your face" type of crap is ridiculous.

To be clear, this only took place at one theater and is not a result of those promoting the movie.

Exclusion based on gender is either acceptable or it's not. Women can't be "we want or deserve a women's only showing" of something if they would take issue with men deciding "we want a men's only showing" of something.

Would anyone care to guess what the reaction would have been by women that support this if some theater would have had a "Men Only" showing of, X-Men or some other film, even if only for the one showing as this "Women Only" one was?

I can hear it now: "Oh no they DIDN'T!", "How DARE they exclude women!", et cetera.
