RE: The Last Jedi - TOMORROW! :D

No offense taken. You are a pensive person who clearly forms your opinions and views from a well thought out perspective. Disagreements aside, I will always respect that.

I don't necessarily believe that the filmmakers went out of their way intentionally to make men look bad (although they may have). I just feel that the film (like many others in recent years) are a reflection of our new everything traditionally masculine is evil culture in the west.

I agree with most of your points about emotions and feelings and teamwork and I get a bit insulted (you didn't do this) when people insinuate that my objections to man-bashing in society have something to do with being a chauvinist or racist.

I'm more spiritual in my approach and really believe that there is a place for traditional masculine traits (like resolve, forcefulness, action, impulse, strategy, competition etc) as much as the feminine. To shun these will tip our world out of balance. And I believe many of our problems in western society stem from the particular shift and imbalance. The film is simply symptomatic of this for me and clearly does not resonate with people like me.

Cheers!
