I didn't say he was the only one that fit the bill. However if you don't think he fits that list I really think you have missed something and should pay a bit more attention to current events. "Interesting" times ahead.
Perhaps your understanding of feminism has been defined by anti-feminists.
Since we are discussing how people are calling the movie part of a "feminist conspiracy" it is worth keeping in mind that the subject is question IS how anti-feminists frame things, and how utterly ridiculous such an approach is.
in the mean time the US nuclear arsenal is ran by 5.25" floppies and a hope and a prayer
Wrong. Baby Bush increased the funding and Obama didn't cut it down from that level. It's run today at a higher level of funding in real terms than under Daddy Bush and Clinton.
Do you want a list? This one at least gets started on a few important bits: http://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2016/11/13/donald-trump-ticks-all-14-boxes-in-umberto-ecos-list-of-what-makes-a-fascist-a-fascist/
More than skepticism IMHO. A good example of a failure due to attempting to "engineer" a solution without full understanding of the system is the introduction of the cane toad into Australia. They eat everything edible that is smaller than themselves apart from the cane beetles they were introduced to eat, since those beetles are almost never at ground level and cane toads can't fly (without assistance of something like a golf club that is).
I think I phrased my reply badly. The people who are complaining that Mad Max is feminist appear to be taking exactly that line that it is about female primacy over all. All it takes to counter that shallow view is to point out one instance of Max saving the girls. If feminism is seen as "look, a girl is driving a truck" then I really have no answer to that other than disagreeing. The Queen of England used to drive trucks, and I don't mean just Land Rover Defenders but also 1940s things that could transport a small tank. To me having strong female characters is just part of a good movie and not advocacy for an ideal. Just because Hollywood is normally skewed exactly the other way doesn't mean the exceptions are a feminist conspiracy - which you may remember was the ridiculous starting point of this "debate".
That's not feminist, that's just a story that is not incredibly shallow. Why debate it? The people pushing the "Mad Max is feminist" line push it as if that is all the movie is so all it takes is one instance of Max being the hero to disprove the shallow "it's nothing but feminist propaganda" line. It all really started with some guy who had lost in the family court seeing enemies everywhere putting the label of "feminist" on Mad Max. I don't get why the label stuck. Frankly it's just juvenile and an insult to everyone, not just the feminists that those people want to insult.
I used to get things plated with gold so I could see them under a scanning electron microscope. A few grams covers a lot of square metres. That isn't saying it's a good idea, just ridiculous for reasons other than weight.
To be frank, built in security on MS is like a starlets underwear - either not there at all or if it is it doesn't actually cover anything properly. You need to secure these things from the outside and then run third party software on them in case that doesn't work. Whether it's Win2K, XP, Win7, Win8 or Win10 doesn't really matter since they are all incredibly malware prone. So if you have a good reason to run XP, then why not, it's the same third party and external solutions to keep it safe as Win10. Despite all the talk MS Win10 is still incredibly malware prone.
She also does a lot, but there are scenes where Max does save the girls. In a feminist movie he wouldn't need to do that. The hose bathing scene and that models were cast instead of actresses for several of the girls in that scene is also an enormous clue. Pure eye candy. Not very feminist is it?
what exactly is it that you want from the Democrat party that you aren't getting
I'm an outsider here but it looks from afar that in the recent election they ignored most of the American population and were instead trying to convert Republicans. I think that's why the people in the "rust belt" who have their lives messed up by the likes of Trump reacted to that lack of attention by the Democrats instead of automatically voting Democrat as Hillary expected.
Seriously guys - it's a real fuckup this time so it's worth considering compulsory voting which will provide room for other parties. There could have been a Sanders party.
Who says those elections are going to happen? After all, they may be "rigged" so it may be seen as a good idea to to stop them, just in case of course, and not really part of dismantling the Republic.
Washington DC is full of people with a story a lot like that, and they get gigs on both sides of politics. It's amazing how many student whiners end up as professional whiners.
Plus if you make your own you can omit the 3kg of salt and 8 litres of butter that the microwave versions come with.
No the secret is to pop the plain kernels in the microwave, either in a container or a clean brown paper bag folded over a few times. Meanwhile on the stove you melt up 8 litres of butter and mix in 3kg of salt to pour over the nice healthy microwave popcorn.
I'd like to know when "alt-right" became synonymous with GamerGate.
Thrown into the category of very pointless whining about girls that should have been left behind at the sandpit instead of adults taking part.
Gamergate really boils down to an insane and very nasty overreaction to a teenage girl writing in a blog that she had a shitty time at a gaming convention. Adult men who should have known better worked hard to give her a far more shitty time in an attempt to drive her off the internet or something. Alt-right is something we'll be laughing about in a few years time but currently they take themselves so fucking seriously. I don't know enough about it to dismiss the entire bunch out of hand, but fuck, there sure is a lot of whining about trivia and the "right" to grab women by the pussy.
The security is third party and works on both. Yes there is hype about the security software that comes with MS Windows 10 but I've seen a lot of infections it did not stop which could have been stopped by decent third party software.

Good idea to hold off.
I called it perfectly, said "I told you so - King Trump" and got kneed in my crystal balls.
EPIC FAIL - He's the guy you ask about planetary orbits and not the guy you ask about hurricanes.

You have forgotten that ISIS was only in Syria at the end of 2011 and was written off as Assad's problem.

It is NOW but back then it was not.

This what I don't get about the issue.
If "Fury Road" is feminist then so is "Crocodile Dundee".
Max saves the girls.
How is that feminist?
So there are strong female characters - how does that make it any more feminist that a Bogart-Bacall movie?
Guns and guzzaline in the desert - awesome.

Back then Syria wasn't part of Iraq or vice-versa.
Think about it, such a comment is as silly as blaming ISIS on Israel due to their policy of letting the Syrians fight each other.

Stargate was fun to watch (most incarnations), but I don't think I would bother to read it.
The movie was a bit like this with the serial numbers filed off

That's not girls, that's Americans in general.
It's a fucking insult so of course people are "sensitive" about being called it.
