Thelma and Louise
Feminist is someone (any sex or gender) that believes in the equality of women and men. Feminism is the act of advocating for women’s rights in social, political, and economic terms. I also think that it includes the history of Feminists and their movements, theories, etc.
In “Thelma and Louise� Feminism is betrayed in a couple of ways but the biggest way that I think it is betrayed is through the actions that the women take throughout the film The women are out to find a way to justify the reasons they were betrayed by men. They end up becoming violent and destructive It seems that they are just releasing some anger and rage that has been built up, they are not constructively finding a way to change and overcome their upsets.
I do think this is a let down to Feminism because the women are not strong, conscious, and intelligent models of Feminists. They end up out of control and impulsive, which hasn’t gotten us anywhere. Yes, they are “doing� acts which seem to portray them having power, and they are definitely making statements, but they aren’t doing it in a manner that will evoke change, men are still going to think of them the same way, as crazy, out of control women, who can’t handle their emotions.
