good post. only part i disagree with is the last. alot of minorities do wish for minorties in SWs just not in the form that was depicted. everything else waa pretty spot on.
You assume (wrongly) that we're not familiar with feminist theory, which is why we disagree with you. Many people on this post have already told you 1. that people can have different opinions even if they have the same data available to them, so disagreement is not a sign of uneducation, and 2. that this isn't the best post to be posting this, as the vast majority already strongly disagree with your opinions, which we've all heard before.
Well, don't apply what you think to be true of some people to all who believe the same things as them. And we understand her theories, the whole patriarchy theory, and the male gaze, and all that, it's just that we disagree with these theories, especially because they've never been considered by anyone but feminists. They reek of bias. And here's a video you might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiOLkY5Spaw
They were unsatisfacroty because anything can be unsatisfactory depending on how you look at it. It IS overanalyzing, since none of what you mentioned was intentional, or would have effected anyone if YOU hadn't noticed it.
Once again, people would not notice any of this if they just stopped thinking about it. You're making an even bigger problem by thinking that skin color and gender is somehow a giant part of someone's identity and the representation of someone of the same gender or race in a movie is a representation of that entire gender of race in real life.
