“Mad Max” Is A Feminist Playbook For Surviving Dystopia

18. I still haven't seen it

I'm very excited about it. My understanding is that it's not about sexualizing women--the whole premise is they are sold into sexual slavery, a common dystopian theme, and fight their way out.

Another set of movies I love, the "Resident Evil" series features a woman badass who has a costume designed to be sexy, not as bad as it could be but still impractical, as well as other women through the series, while "strong characters", often are dressed more for display.

Sometimes the lack of musculature in these movies drives me nuts, like Angela Jolie in "Tomb Raider".
