Is that your real take? The girls have the power in that movie they manipulate the boys not the other way around. The adults are oblivious (except for Tina). There is no patriarchy.

This is another way of telling us you haven't seen the movie without telling us you haven't seen the movie.

It ably demonstrates the propensity of IT industry drive by commenters to be confidently, totally, utterly incorrect in every aspect of what they opine.

#19That is so fetch! In all honesty though, I quite enjoyed how this article was written. Is there a listing somewhere of articles written like this, with algorithms or concepts explained using analogies to pop culture?

Supposedly having no agency and being opressed seems to be the universal narrative, even with groups that are not even a minority. It gets worse with real minorities. But I know an increasing number of women who are fed up with this victimhood mentality. Its a slipery slope. Because once you believe in you being a victim, you likely reduce your effort to take matters into your own hand. And there is even a feedback loop. Because once you start whining, people perceive you as such and a stereotype is reinforced.
