Moxie: For girls everywhere!

By Karen - 01 September 2021

Moxie is indeed a very routine, fragmented, and very idealized film. But it does not prevent it, this is the most exciting film I have watched recently.


OK, this film is very simple, very facial, and even impractical. Several typical asshole masculinity images were set up as targets. A group of girls joined forces to turn them all over.


But why not? Why can't we express feminist activities in a simple way? Why can't the feminist win a game easily and proudly? Isn’t it true that there are few hot-blooded movies that we have seen from a male perspective?


Feminist films have to be bitter? The performance rape society must be as repressive and helpless as "Thirteen Reasons Why". Feminist activities should be like "Mrs. America", which weaves all forces and power relations mixed. Of course that's also good, but why can't it be the idealism of a group of young people on the high school campus, simply and rudely saying no to what you don't want, and boldly pursuing what you want?


In retrospect, whether we also live in such an environment is not full of violence and not as obvious as inequality. But it is a highly respected literary work from a male perspective. Girls "protect themselves" from wearing revealing clothes. Group leaders and show off should always be men. "Popular" girls are the existence of "beautiful and beautiful" cheerleaders on one side, and their physiological characteristics are taken as The label points to the point, the best way to face bullying is to remain silent...


In fact, feminism is not so complicated, not so noble, and it does not exclude everything. It is not that the top female talents are "real women's rights." Feminists can have various communication with men, they can be female or male, they can be single, they can marry, they can be gentle, they can be angry... think that gender is equal, women can make any free choice, and truly recognize the inequality in all parts of the society. Just say no. It doesn't have to be useful, and the matter of showing an attitude is very important in itself.


Finally, "For girls everywhere!"
