Men Lose Their Minds After Woman Suggests A Female Joker As A Convincing Villain

female reboots of classic male films have been coming thick and fast over the past few years. From lady “Ghostbusters” to talks of a female James Bond; Hollywood isn’t planning to slow down anytime soon. The up trending phenomenon is, however, causing men sleepless nights even though they are always made in jest

The seemingly empowering message of these all-female remakes and superhero productions is that women can do anything men can do, or even better. However, as a twitter user soon came to understand, the misogynistic vitriol surrounding the run-up release movies with a female replacing a male character is a lot to take in.

It all began when writer Geraldine DeRuite took to Twitter and proposed that The Joker, a villain from Batman franchise should have been a woman, and tied in a joke about some classic misogyny.

Most men missed the joke and now social media has crafted jokes out of their horror.

This writer took to Twitter to suggest an alternate plot for a female The Joker from ‘Batman’

And men proceeded to lose their collective minds

Geraldine was unphased and continued to taunt her haters

So more upset men filled her thread with comments

The back and forth between the OP and commenters went on

And even developed into a deeper discussion beyond comic book characters

One man joined the discussion to point out that her ‘outrageous’ idea had, in fact, already been done in the Flashpoint comics

Not appreciating the mansplaining, she had some more fun and made a game out of the comments
