“Mad Max” Is A Feminist Playbook For Surviving Dystopia

[KitSileya]

16. I haven't seen the movie yet, but one thing people have said that shouldn't be discounted

Is that finally disabled women and fat women see themselves on screen doing heroic things. Furiosa is disabled, yet from what I understand, she is the toughest fighter in the movie. She isn't heroic for overcoming her disability , which is the most common "hero" disabled people get to be on-screen, she is equal to the others. The fat women apparently has a pivotal job in the rescue. This is not something we see everyday, so even if there are young and pretty girls dressed in what the villain forces them to wear, it doesn't mean that the movie is not feminist.
