So you may have heard vague rumors that there’s a new Mad Max film coming out. You also may have heard that it stars Charlize Theron as a shaven-headed postapocalyptical badass named Furiosa alongside Tom Hardy as Mr. Max.
Well, the manly men of the Manospshere are having none of it. On the always terrible Return of Kings, the most-trafficked blog in the Manosphere, Youtube bloviator Aaron Clarey issues a clarion call to his fellow right-thinking men, urging them to
Not only REFUSE to see the movie, but spread the word to as many men as possible. … Because if [men] sheepishly attend and Fury Road is a blockbuster, then you, me, and all the other men (and real women) in the world will never be able to see a real action movie ever again that doesn’t contain some damn political lecture or moray about feminism, SJW-ing, and socialism.
Er, “moray?”
As Clarey sees it, the central flaw in this film that he hasn’t seen is, well, it’s going to be starring Charlize Theron as a shaven-headed postapocalyptical badass named Furiosa. And that’s just not right, because everyone knows that women are just too damn womeny to be postapocalyptical badasses.
Even worse: in one of the trailers for the film “Charlize Theron’s character barked orders to Mad Max. Nobody barks orders to Mad Max.”
Clarey also reports, with a kind of growing horror, that none other than Eve Ensler, of Vagina Monologues fame, was brought in to consult on the film. (And trust me, Clarey’s discomfort with Ensler has nothing to do with her issues with intersectionality.)
Sure, Clarey acknowledges, Fury Road — at least on the surface — “looks like that action guy flick we’ve desperately been waiting for where it is one man with principles, standing against many with none.” But, he warns, despite not having actually seen even a minute of the actual film, nothing could be further from the truth!
[L]et us be clear. … This is the Trojan Horse feminists and Hollywood leftists will use to (vainly) insist on the trope women are equal to men in all things, including physique, strength, and logic. And this is the subterfuge they will use to blur the lines between masculinity and femininity, further ruining women for men, and men for women.
Lines between masculinity and femininity blurring! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Clarey worries that
men in America and around the world are going to be duped by explosions, fire tornadoes, and desert raiders into seeing what is guaranteed to be nothing more than feminist propaganda, while at the same time being insulted AND tricked into viewing a piece of American culture ruined and rewritten right in front of their very eyes.
You might think that someone this worried about the legacy of the original Mad Max might have noticed somewhere along the way that Mad Max is not actually a “piece of American culture” at all. It was an Australian film, filmed in Australia, directed by an Australian, and starring an American citizen who’d been living in Australia since the age of twelve.
I’m guessing that the director of Fury Road might have a somewhat more nuanced understanding of the original Mad Max than someone who doesn’t even know what country the movie was made in, especially given that the director of Fury Road, the director of the original Mad Max, the director of The Road Warrior and the director of Beyond Thunderdome are actually all the very same person.
But over on Return of Kings the fellas are as furious about Furiosa as Clarey is. In the top comment to Clarey’s piece, with several dozen upvotes, someone calling himself “truth” complains that the evil feminists who run Hollywood are ignoring the immutable truths of gender.
Hollywood is a garbage propoganda machine which spews out this feminist drivel filth into the minds of today’s young audience. Even though science has told us and proven, that men are physically stronger than women, it is nonetheless discarded by the forces driving this feminist nonsense.
There is a sick agenda at play here, and it only continues to get worse over time. First this, and now the upcoming “Terminator Genisys” which shows Sarah Connor in a more heroic and superior position to that of Kyle Reese, really makes me wonder how much further down the toilet society is going to go down, in it’s ridiculous attempts to try and reverse the traditional gender and biological roles.
Because “traditional” and “biological” roles always seem to be the exact same thing to these guys.
It is clear that the brainwashing of the masses will continue to go on with the promotion of these absurd movies in conjunction with the whole “girl power” themes that are present in these films. Furthermore, factor in the indoctrination of the liberal schooling and educational system, there is no doubt, that masculinity will be attacked from all sides in attempt to make the female gender more superior. …
I guess from the damage that I am seeing on a daily basis being inflicted by the feminist movement, there is really no turning back. Men will continue to opt out of society and by rejecting to watch these kind of movies, can help to further cement this narrative. And if ever, should the manginas and white knights reach that epiphany when they realise they are not perceived as a credible voice in this feminist driven gynocentric matriarchy that we live in, then even they will opt out of society.
Huh. And, let me guess, once the men all “opt out of society,” it’ll collapse in a giant heap and desperate women will turn to men for help? No wonder these guys are so angry about Fury Road; it challenges their favorite apocalyptic fantasy. Call it Mad Max: I Told You Bitches You’d Come Crawling Back to Me.
Women and feminists in general have without a doubt, proven that they are dysfunctional by nature and cannot be trusted with anything. And this movie helps to prove it.
FWIW, dude, the movie was directed by a man. It was written by men. And even though it’s got a lot more women in it than your typical action movie, most of the named actors in it are male. But apparently, to guys like Clarey and “truth,” it only takes a few drops of female blood to contaminate an entire action film.
Always maintain your masculinity.
And once again it’s the guys who think of themselves as the most macho who are the ones most anxious about their masculinity.
Truth is also horrified by one of the posters he’s seen for the film:
Even though the movie is called “Mad Max”, the poster clearly centres around Charlize Theron, while Tom Hardy looks like some ordinary guy in the background.
A woman’s face … in front of a man’s face! Can masculinity survive this terrible assault?
Slashfund complains that in the poster it “looks like he is wearing a muzzle like her bitch.”
Well, not really. Anyone who’s seen the original Max Max and its first two sequels may remember that a lot of the characters wore weird headgear and creepy masks; this was intended to make them look scary and, you know, postapocalyptic. Max’s new mask is no different.
Clark Kent whines
Where I can’t stand these female characters in kickass movies is when it is so damn obvious that they are forcing the female character in just to appeal to the blue-pill masses. The whole point of Mad Max is that he is the most hardened self-respecting man in the post-apocalyptic world. He lived through the decline, and thus carries all the grief of having been strong enough to see what the world has become.
To turn Mad Max upside down and make it into a feminist flick is horribly telling of our times. Rather than creating new films to depict the world from a women’s perspective, we take the great myths of men and boys and rewrite them to make women happy.
What? Mad Max is a “great myth of men and boys” now? It’s a movie made in 1979, not a tale told around the campfire by our ancient ancestors. And don’t any of you Return of Kingers remember Beyond Thunderdome, the second Mad Max sequel, released six years after the original? You know, the one co-starring Tina Turner, stomping around like a badass as the ruthless ruler of Bartertown?
Like it or not, fellas, but badass women are part of Mad Max canon.
MajorStyles, for his part, suggests that the film may be part of a sinister plot to con men into liking women with (gasp!) short hair — a major Manosphere bugaboo.
And what’s the end game of all this horse shit? That Alpha men will start finding bald, androgyonous women with anger issues attractive? Yeah, when pigs fly…
Again, another fail on the part of Team Feminism. As it has been noted many times, they do not get to order men what to be attracted to. Erections cannot be legislated. Only a man of supreme thirst would find this angynous thing attractive.
And the women who choose to impersonate Theron’s look in this movie will always be relagated to the same position – bridesmaid, cat lady, or beta male abuser.
TS77RP1, meanwhile, wants his fellow men to think of the children. And what he thinks about the children — specifically, those of the female persuasion — is genuinely horrifying.
Seriously: if you’re having a decent day so far, or, hell, a crappy one — basically, if you’re a having any sort of day so far, you may want to skip the rest of this post. No joke.

Ok, if you’re still with me, here we go:
The only way back is to begin punishing ambition in our daughters and in all female children. They need to be physically and psychologically disciplined to be servile and deferential and they unfortunately need to have it beaten into them that they should NEVER trust their own judgement and always seek guidance and permission of their male headships.
Please tell me this monster doesn’t have a daughter.
My daughter would be turned out with nothing but a shirt on her back if she so much as looked at a college website or played with her brother’s educational toys.
Aw, fuck.
She would be belted to the point of being unable to sit if she exhibited confidence in decision making.
Fucking hell. A proud abuser.
I don’t want my wife to step foot out of the house unless her every dime and minute spent can be accounted for and executed in conjuncture with my approval. My daughter will exude obedience and timidity for whoever her future husband is and it’s imperative that all Christian Men demand nothing less within their own homes. Playtime for feminazis and the left is over. This is our world and our heritage to protect. Let the cultural war begin!
No words.
In a followup comment, he assures one skeptic that his wife and daughter are indeed real.
I do in fact implement this in my own home and practice what I preach vehemently. I have a daughter and sons and they are being raised to know that they are unequivocally different and 100% not equal. My wife is from a highly devout family and she was cowed long ago into obedience by her powerful, alpha father. I kinda won the life lottery >:^)
I can only hope that he’s bullshitting in an attempt to impress the Return of Kings regulars.
But impress them he does, winning upvotes and an awestruck comment by englishbob:
Wow! Its like you have a mini Saudi Arabia right in your home!
Apparently hatred of women trumps hatred of Muslims on Return of Kings.
I have no idea if Mad Max: Fury Road is actually going to be a good film. But I hope it does well, very well, if for no other reason than to spite these assholes.
I’m guessing that last guy is a fan of the Pearls.
Ugh.
Nothing like being proud of how abusive you are.

Fuck you, jacko. We’re not playing, and newsflash: You’ve already lost. It’s GAME OVER for all of you. The dustbin of history is where you guys will end up, and no one will miss you. Your wife and daughter, assuming they actually exist anywhere other than in the fever swamp of your festering 12-year-old wanker’s brain, are already plotting their escape. And when they do, you won’t find them. Because you’re not bright enough to change a goddamn lightbulb without a woman. Or find your ass with both hands and a flashlight.
Remember, Return of Kings is “ruled” by a guy so “alpha” that a TV charlatan was able to roll right over him with minimal effort. These guys are NOT what they claim to be, they are dwellers in fantasyland. ALL of them.
Jesus, the guy who wrote those last comments needs to be investigated. I’d like to believe he’s making shit up (it’s telling that he starts out speaking hypothetically and then switches to “yeah totally” when the piss-stains around him lap it up), but if not his kids need to be taken away ASAP.
I know it’s tricky online, but is there a way to report TS77RP1 for child abuse? I don’t know if he’s really doing what he says he does, but he should at least be investigated.
I don’t know. Somebody I went to High School with is now a proud Christian patriarchy proponent, and they’re always posting things to Facebook saying stuff like “I don’t understand why people judge me for submitting to my husband” (which is bizarre, since during the time we were in school together a goodly percentage of the teachers were outspoken feminists, you’d think she’d at least be aware why people would think that defining yourself as another person’s property isn’t a great thing)
It’s not all that different from the Duggars, really. Only more violent.
Myriad: I’m pretty sure he’s lying because if not then hes cult leader, like Warren Jeffs or he’s in prison for abuse. I’m calling BS. I’m pretty sure that’s just his fantasy.
I guess they forgot about Thunderdome, where you have Tina Turner, a badass, post-apocalyptic, Black woman, along with several other strong-willed women.

These guys are Hella late to this party!
I’m an action movie junkie, so I find the entire rant to be the funniest s*** I’ve ever read.
Nailed it. David. They don’t want any women intruding on their imaginary libertarian utopia, except as sexbots and barter fodder. The Apocalypse is supposed to be a male-only safe space.
Come the Alphacalypse, women had better start growing their hair long and wearing makeup and stilettos and being timid and demure, or ELSE!
What a strange, upsetting idea, that women in a hardscrabble, survivalist society might not look like lingerie models all the time. I think these guys may need to go lie down for awhile.
Mrex: Now imagine trying to explain to those peole the same thing about Africa, South America and Southeast Asia.
Hmm, I call Poe on that commenter, it sounds too ridiculous, and men actually living the red pill dream generally don’t waste time online bragging about it. Most RoK commenters are barely out of their teens, what’s some traditionalist christian patriarch doing on a PUA site?
That said, maybe it’s worth digging into just in case.
And I was also wondering if Aaron Clarey has actually seen the original Mad Max films, I recall quite a few tough women characters. Let’s face it, after a societal apocalypse any women who can’t think beyond twin-sets, high heels and bible class aren’t going to last very long.
I was going to give this movie a miss, but now I’m tempted.
Agreed a zillion times over to finding out if Mr Proud Abuser actually has kids so child protective services can intervene.
Tremble before my mighty ability to both cause and shrink boners while not really caring about random stranger’s boners at all! Muhahahahahahaaaaa! My life isn’t about you!
*cackles as she rides into the night in a chariot pulled by cats*
They really think we are existing to spite them. Our happiness and success is truly frightening to them. I mean, a lady in a movie made this “alpha” dude shit a whole pile of bricks. He beats a little girl out of fear of her strength to topple him from his make believe throne. You don’t get much more easily threatened than that. If he is frighten of an abused child, think of what he feels when a grown ass woman tells him to sit down and shut the fuck up? He must quake in his boots every time he sees a woman he can’t beat into submission. Can you imagine if one hit him back?
I like that. I like scaring him by being a proud feminist. He deserves to be afraid. And it’s so easy! He can’t handle it. He might die from mild discomfort, the poor little puddin. Such a little thing as holding the ground I stand on sends him hiding under his manosphere blanket where if he can’t see me, he can pretend I don’t exist. I just have to enjoy my life on my terms. It’s like sunlight to a vampire. A really, really stupid and cowardly vampire.
Knowing these men choke on female (or any feminist’s) pleasure just makes my joy that much sweeter. I hope it does the same for all the awesome folks here, especially David.
@lkeke35
Then there’s tv. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Michonne from The Walking Dead spring to mind. Admittedly Buffy was a long, long time ago now.
Bina: I love that gif. She is definitely giving someone the “full finger”.
Not really an action movie, but Eowyn stabbed the fucking Witch King in the no-face while delivering a one-liner about how women can be badasses too. That has to account for something.
I’m going to see this movie twice!
PS: Does he think ass-kickin’, take no crap women are a new phenomenon?
Let’s see:
Tasha Yar – 80s Star Trek
Ripley – 80s Alien movies
Sara Jane Smith – 70s Doctor Who
Leela – 70s Doctor Who
Liz Shaw – 60s Doctor Who
Emma Peel and Cathy Gale – 60s Avengers
April Dancer – 60s Girl from UNCLE
I’m sure we can come up with more.
Where were these “men” when Aeon Flux came out?
Sorry, I was compiling my list (and trying to work) while other people were posting!
I know that households like this do exist, but I’m really hoping that TS77RP1 is full of shit, for the sake of his hopefully hypothetical wife and daughter.
Most of these guys wouldn’t survive a day at my physical labour job. I know this because I watch the guys a foot taller than me burn out within a week. I’ve been watching it for years now. Besides. I can lift 80% of my body weight and I don’t even train. That’s just from my job. I’d like to see them try that.
^This
Ikeke 35, loved your list and will print it out and put it at my desk with photos. I’m an action junkie too and these roles for athletic, direct, resourceful women have meant so much to me in my life.
Don’t forget Vasquez and the lead female vampire that same actress played in Near Dark.
Is there enough information to submit to https://tips.fbi.gov/? Because TS77RP1 needs to be in jail for child abuse, and most likely abuse in general. Jesus fuck.
Anyway, I find it pretty funny that these guys are losing their shit over a single movie poster. There was a poster for Star Wars that had the little RC droid that was on the death star front and center. Movie posters will highlight anything.
Jesus fucking Christ, report that last guy to the police.
I sincerely hope that abuser guy is just making it all up.
