“ The most iconic superheroine in amusing book history finally has her own movie , and what practiced means to fete than with an all - distaff viewing ? ” thepostread . “ apologia , gentlemen , but we ’re embracing our girl great power and sound out ‘ No Guy let ’ for one special Nox at the Alamo Ritz . And when we say ‘ People Who Identify As Women Only , ’ we mean it . Everyone work at this screening — venue faculty , projectionist , and culinary squad — will be female . ”

Luckily for the rest of us , there ’s a brilliant individual act the theater ’s social mass medium :
Taking it one tone further , the chain append another all - woman screening of the moving picture in Austin and plan more in different city around the country — all of which have also sell out .
But Alamo employees are n’t the only ones who can make male chauvinist look stupefied .
Austin Mayor Steve Adler also joined in on the fun after a Richard A. Ameduri sent him thisemail :
“ I hope every world will boycott Austin and do what he can to diminish Austin and to cause damage to the city ’s image . The house that indulge to the sexism distinctive of womanhood will , I desire , regret it ’s decision . The notion of a woman fighter is a ok example of women ’s readiness to take the appearance of achievement without actual achievement . Women pick up from an early age to value make - up , that it ’s OK to make that you are greater than you in reality are . Women affect they do not know that only men serve in combat because they are content to have an easy drive . Women fain take amber ribbon at the Olympics for coming in 10th and competing only against the second family of jock . Name something make up by a woman ! Achievements by the 2nd rate sexuality picket in comparison to virtually everything great in human account was reach by humankind , not woman . If Austin does not host a men only counter effect , I will never visit Austin and will receive it ’s deterioration . And I will not forget that Austin is best have a go at it for Charles Whitman . Does Austin stomach for gender equivalence or for kiss up to womanhood ? Do n’t bother to respond . I already know the result . I do not hate woman . I hate their rampant lip service and the lip service of the ‘ womanhood ’s effort . ’ Women do not want sexuality equality ; they require more for women . Do n’t get to to respond because I am sure your cowardice will generate nothing worth reading .
