The Alamo Drafthouse isn't the only one having fun with the cranky reactions to its women-only Wonde
The Alamo Drafthouse isn't the only one having fun with the cranky reactions to its women-only Wonder Womanscreenings.
One man was so unhappy about being excluded from a single showing of a movie he doesn't seem interested in anyway, held in a city he apparently does not live in, that he took it upon himself to email the mayor of Austin to air his grievances. And mayor Steve Adler's response to him was just perfect.
SEE ALSO:Alamo Drafthouse announces a women-only screening of 'Wonder Woman' and of course men are upsetThe man emailed Adler last week, shortly after the event was first announced, and threatened to boycott the entire city of Austin unless the city hosted a men-only event to counter the women-only Wonder Womanscreening. Never mind that the city of Austin did not organize the Wonder Womanshowing; the Drafthouse is a private company that just happens to be located in Austin.
The guy went on to complain about "the sexism typical of women," and "the notion of a woman hero" in general – because, according to him, women don't serve in combat and have never invented anything, and therefore couldn't possibly be heroes. (Hmm, we're starting to think this guy's issues with Wonder Womango beyond the existence of a handful of women-only screenings.)
He concluded by writing, "Don’t bother to respond because I am sure your cowardice will generate nothing worth reading."
But respond the mayor did. In his email, which is posted in full on his site, Adler begins with a friendly warning:
I am writing to alert you that your email account has been hacked by an unfortunate and unusually hostile individual. Please remedy your account’s security right away, lest this person’s uninformed and sexist rantings give you a bad name. After all, we men have to look out for each other!
Adler then goes on to suggest it'd be superembarrassing if this guy actually believed any of the silly anti-women stuff he spouted in his original email:
Can you imagine if someone thought that you didn’t know women could serve in our combat units now without exclusion? What if someone thought you didn’t know that women invented medical syringes, life rafts, fire escapes, central and solar heating, a war-time communications system for radio-controlling torpedoes that laid the technological foundations for everything from Wi-Fi to GPS, and beer? And I hesitate to imagine how embarrassed you’d be if someone thought you were upset that a private business was realizing a business opportunity by reserving one screening this weekend for women to see a superhero movie.
And he finishes by wishing the man well and reiterating that "everyone is welcome" in Austin, even those "whose embarrassment to modernity, decency, and common sense." Honestly, just read the whole thing right now – it's up at his site.
Meanwhile, another angry dude has gone as far as filing a formal complaint against the Drafthouse in New York, on the basis that he's being discriminated against on the basis of his gender. Whether he has an actual case – and what might happen next if he does – remains to be seen.
So far, though, all of this hype seems to be translating to booming business for the Drafthouse: Austin's women-only showing of Wonder Womanproved so popular that the theater chain has added more showtimes and expanded the program to other cities (where they've promptly sold out as well).
