If Kathleen Kennedy had a twisted need to humiliate female characters, and did to Leah what she did to Luke, then absolutely I would be just as angry about it.
With all due respect, placing the words “to me” before a sentence does not grant you permission to define however you like. There are no philosophers who consider Mary Daly to be anything other than a “radical feminist”. These things are facts whether you agree or not.
I suggest if you want to disagree, read some of Mary Daly first. I think you’d be very surprised to find I have represented her philosophy very accurately and without bias. Contrast this against Gloria Steinem who spearheaded Second Wave feminism in the 60’s and 70’s, and who never recommended hatred in any way.
Just as a personal side note: in 1993 I was in graduate studies in philosophy at Portland State University. It was and is considered the second most Leftist university in the country, and the entire philosophy department staff were militant atheists graduated from University of Washington. We were all feminists. At least we thought we were.
One day a pair of professors were discussing unusual events. Seems they had literally been run out of a class in Women’s Studies. I was shocked so decided to sit in on one myself. Truth is I did not believe the story. I presumed instead that the professor of the class did not want to be judged by two other professors. I was wrong.
When I entered (all philosophy classes are open attendance to philosophy students), everyone in the class looked at me as if I were mad. Before class started, the professor informed me that the women present did not feel safe with me in the room and asked me to leave. Not wanting to be a problem I did so in some shock. BTW, I was wearing a wedding ring and had not approached any of these women in any way. I have since realized what they did not feel safe about was teaching hatred of men in front of men.
Six years later, Mary Daly (who was being taught in the class), was fired from her teaching position of 33 years at Boston College, for running male students out of her classroom. You can read about it here at wiki. Note that wiki lists her tradition as “radical feminist” and that this is indeed how Daly characterized herself. Kathleen Kennedy and Disney are firmly embedded in this tradition or “camp”. If Disney were supporting a more traditional feminism, none of us would have issues with what has been done to Star Wars and no one would be complaining. In short, if Disney were tanked up on traditional feminism, there would be no talk of the joy of making men uncomfortable.
The central difference between traditional feminism and radical feminism is that radicals are taught and conditioned to hate. This is how they earned the moniker “feminazis.”
If you want an explanation for how tens of thousands of kids revolted and burned over 700 towns and cities across the US in 2020, this is your explanation. If you want to understand how thousands of students have been in the streets supporting the massacre of Jews in Israel, this is the explanation. It is all the “Blank Studies” classes teaching hatred. The women are taught to hate men. The Blacks are taught to hate Whites. Everyone is taught to hate Jews. We have three generations whose entitlement and adolescent self-righteousness is off the charts. Teachers have been telling elementary school kids to be the solution without explaining the real problems. We are doing this now for over thirty years, just as they did in the Weimar Republic. We are teaching children to hate. That is how you make radicals. Precisely this is what led to WWII and the deaths of 55 million people.
