Never let it be said that we have no use for modern feminism. Turns out, it’s a great way to remind us how stupid things can be.

@nymtwit you have got to be kidding me.

I don’t get it. Is this some kind of parody?

Ah, would that it were:

Please. Before you read any further, do yourself a favor and watch the handy video New York Magazine has put together to accompany this Very Important Piece of Journalism™. (UPDATE: The video appears to have vanished. Which is a cryin’ shame!)

This film about the British military in WWI is a total sausage fest. https://t.co/EZneF2kFsq

You all know what this means, don’t you? Time for a remake:

Today, they'd insert Scarlett Johansson or Jennifer Lawrence as the spunky female sidekick…just for 'balance'.

Jennifer Lawrence of Arabia. She'd be a lock for the role. Wouldn't have to learn to respond to the last name.

To be fair, if feminists didn’t complain, what would they do all day?

Hey, it’s a living!

All four Golden Girls were women. Two of every four people are men. Sounds like discrimination to me. #triggered

Maybes it is a comic series. Next up: The 1993 Boston Celtics had no women. Just a bunch of dudes. (Random clip of Impatient Geena Davis)

This bit of old Hollywood discrimination will shock you.

There’s not a single Maghrebi character in The Little Rascals.

We look forward to future brilliant feminist thinkpieces.

And we’ll leave you with a little perspective:

Modern feminists are more pissed off at Lawrence of Arabia than Saudi Arabia.
