I love Nolte on Breitbart, he’s hysterical…….’Nolte: Little Miss BossyPants at Netflix Wants to Outlaw the Term ‘Chick Flick’
A corporate behemoth abuses its cultural influence to tell the rest of what words we can and cannot use…?
No, seriously, nothing makes me want to embrace the future more than a dictatorial corporation exploiting its power in the most Orwellian way possible — a literal attempt to shrink the size of the dictionary using NewSpeak. Her name is Kirsten King (of course it’s Kirsten), but for purposes of clarity we will now refer to her as Little Miss BossyPants.
On Twitter, Little Miss BossyPants looks to be in her 30s, lives in Los Angeles, contributes to far-left outlets like BuzzFeed, etc. and is like, totally, super-awesomely in “love with bi culture” — so as you can see she’s very much in touch with the common man & woman. Little Miss BossyPants has a First World Problem — she doesn’t like the term “chick flick.”
Yes, her life is that privileged, so privileged she actually enjoys the luxury of being freaked out over the term “chick flick.” And so, with her bossy little fingers she decided to lay down the law across streaming giant’s Twitter platforms…
Quick PSA: Can we stop calling films “chick flicks” unless the films are literally about small baby chickens?
Here’s why this phrase should absolutely be retired. • For starters, “chick flicks” are traditionally synonymous with romantic comedies. This suggests that women are the only people interested in 1. Romance 2. Comedy. Which I can promise from the men I’ve come across in my life – simply isn’t true. • There aren’t sweeping categories specific to men. You don’t hear people asking to watch “man movies” – instead, pretty much every intersection of genre is on the table and seen as for men, except of course, the aforementioned rom-coms. • The term also cheapens the work that goes into making these types of films. Romantic comedies and/or films centered around female leads go through just as much editing, consideration, and rewriting as any other film. • And nicknaming films “chick flicks” drives home that there’s something trivial about watching them. But what’s trivial about watching a film that makes you feel 1,000 emotions in ~90 minutes? • Overall, there’s nothing inherently gendered about liking a light-hearted film with a strong female lead and emotional arc. So next time you call something a “chick flick,” you better be referring to Chicken Run.
In so many ways I am awed. Never before in the history of human writing has there been such a perfect blend of empty-headed, self-righteous, narcissistic, uptight and neurotic posturing (that wasn’t written by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez). Your Honor, I would like to offer the above as:
Exhibit A to prove just how good and glorious things are in Donald Trump’s America… The economy is humming, North Korea is under control, ISIS is a puddle of goo, the stock market is booming, jobs are being created…. and Little Miss BossyPants and Netflix have all kinds of time to hand-wring over “chick flick.”
Why didn’t Little Miss BossyPants just tweet out, “Thank you Donald Trump for making America so, like, great again!”
Little Miss BossyPants doesn’t even know what she’s talking about. “For starters,” she writes, “‘chick flicks,’ are traditionally synonymous with romantic comedies.” Uh, sorry, cupcake, no…The only thing romantic comedies are “traditionally synonymous” with are … romantic comedies.
A “chick flick” is an entirely different genre. Steel Magnolias, Beaches, Notebook, etc. This bossy knucklehead is fascistically expounding on the “gendered” reasons to remove a perfectly innocuous but helpfully precise term from the American lexicon when she has no idea what the term means. A chick flick actually is is a movie produced to appeal to women.
Oh, here’s my short PSA: How about if you do the world a favor and pull that six-foot steel pole out of your backside, sweet tart? How about if you just stop telling other people how to speak, Little Miss BossyPants?
Nevertheless, allow me to close with a note of thanks…Were it not for Netflix and Little Miss BossyPants, we would have no idea that yet-another way to trigger America’s brittle, dried-out, joyless Woke Harpies was with the term “chick flick.” So I hope you’ll join me, Mr. and Mrs. America in Making ‘Chick-Flick’ Great Again!
