Girl Power?
So Amazon’s Fallout has gotten pretty good buzz, both from critics and viewers. So I thought I’d check out the first episode.
So I had to quite watching about midway through it.
That was about the time our heroine, a pretty young thing but not exactly physically intimidating, got into a fight with her new husband, who was built like Jacob Elordi in Frankenstein. She, of course, made mincemeat of him.
That was enough for me. How many shows have we been force-fed in which some slender or frail or otherwise non-threatening chick takes on a biker gang or a football team or whatever, and dispatches them with ease?
It’s too bad, because Fallout otherwise seemed like it might be decent. But I’ve had enough with wokeness in general and “you go girl” feminism in particular.

I was thinking Toxic Femininity might be a product of the 2020s, but then I stumbled upon … something … on an obscure channel. The movie was apparently a German comedy from the ’70s or ’80s but with subtitles and (Russian?) narration. When I tuned in, a hapless basketball coach was for some reason assaulted by his team of teenage players. But why should I explain when you can watch?
To recap, from screen caps:
Hapless coach
High school girls about to get an unexpected treat
Do they know what’s coming? Was it preplanned?
I don’t know what’s worse, teen boys hoping to impress girls by conducting small-penis-humiliation on their coach, or the poor actor hired to play the coach.
