Another day, another made-up controversy from the left. Feminists are now up in arms over the new Star Wars movie.

It’s also argued that women don’t get to use the force as much as men, and that there aren’t enough women in the movies.

The truth is that Carrie Fischer’s Leia is a strong female lead who has commanded rebel forces and even saves Han Solo’s life. How sexist!
Episode 7 stars John Boyega, a talented black actor, in one of the lead roles. Bill Dean Williams has long been a fan-favorite of the original movies.
As usual, the feminists are just looking for anything to get riled-up about. As for me, I can’t wait to see the new Star Wars movie.
