'GLORIOUS': Glamour reviews man-free edit of 'Saving Private Ryan'

Brett T. | 8:15 PM on January 22, 2018

There’s some backstory here: first, there would be no “man-free edit” of “Saving Private Ryan” if someone hadn’t first, for some reason, edited all of the women out of “The Last Jedi.”

In any case, that’s what inspired the communications director of Progress North Carolina Action to produce a man-free cut of “Saving Private Ryan,” which runs just over 2 minutes. (Note: MRA stands for Men’s Rights Activist.)

It’s a not-so-clever response to a dumb idea, so naturally, Glamour declared the result “glorious.”

"Hero" has a whole new, and stupid, meaning now. https://t.co/KDiNEjZtam

Speaking of heroes:

Somebody’s kind of missing the point here. https://t.co/ZsHfz9lRCM

The "edited video" shown here displays white crosses in a cemetery. Those crosses symbolize the men who fought and died in the war to protect the world from nazism.

This type of "feminism" is truly disgusting. https://t.co/1HwMT8CfDv

Well done making the point that it was actually almost exclusively men who fought/died/sacrificed in WWII, not women… but girl power or whatever? I think this actually proves the opposite point you’re trying to make, you complete idiots at Glamour fashion ??? https://t.co/XckhQOeLGX

If women were soldiers we literally wouldn't have won the war https://t.co/JbNRNv8bMc

There is nothing heroic about removing all the men from a movie about WW2.

People wonder why millennial jokes are in vogue? https://t.co/p6sjf9LD8Q

If you’re trying to prove that there would be no war against the Nazis and Imperial Japan without men, mission accomplished! https://t.co/MlVwT2gMW4

My grandfather drove a tank at 19 years old against the Nazis. If I told him a fashion magazine tweeted about editing him out of that moment, he would have laughed, lit a cigarette and saved the world all over again. https://t.co/b5mnXI8YG2

The pettiness of feminism knows no bounds. If this is what you need to feel validated you have a shallow life. https://t.co/uzvPuhEyAr

I recently visited the American cemetery at Normandy. There are 9,385 people buried there. 9,381 of them are men. We disagree on the definition of "glorious." https://t.co/DtmP60r92e
