Hyena-Slaying Alpha Women Attack! Film Critic Resigns Over Editorial Mandate to Avoid Action Flick Chicks

When the boss  censors film reviews and condemns films with strong female leads as “moral garbage,” what’s a film critic with integrity to do? For critic Michael Calleri, it means you resign. Read all about directly from Calleri and the misogynistic ex-boss himself (by way of his lengthy email) in Roger Ebert’s upload: “Reactionary men who fear and hate strong women.”

Apparently Snow White and the Huntsman, not Twilight, is how Kristen Stewart will destroy society.

Snarl more, Chris Hemsworth! And don’t let Kristen Stewart touch your weapon.

Thanks, @temporaryhermit, for bringing this to our attention and to @BackpackingDad who let us know that Niagara Falls Reporter boss-man Frank Pariato replied with his own criticism of filmmakers who “simply hate the idea of a strong, powerful man in their cowardly and effete new world.”
