I wanted to Like It But...



As a Gay man, I enjoy supporting Queer film. But THE LAST ISLAND offended me not as a Gay man, but as a *man*. The film was just so steeped in Misandry I could not reconcile with its message or relate to any of the characters. Misansdry is just as bad a Misogeny- we should not replace one system of bias and hatred with another...

I am a woman and thought exactly the same. I saw the film a couple of times as a kid when it was aired in German television, and back then I didn't really get it, but as I rewatched it today I felt like it is just blatant misandry and that's a shame.

I KNOW!! I mean, like, what if they made a film that had mostly all men in it and the women were just skanks and airheads, without a decent woman in the bunch!?

Oh, wait, that's like EVERY OTHER FILM. Get over your stupid misandry and buck up. Sucks being on the other end of prejudice, but this film is not that. Go cry like a girl somewhere else.
