Delighted observations from women on Ghostbusters

amuseoffyre:

• no fat jokes
• no gratuitous sexiness
• no sexed up costumes
• women interacting like actual women
• no romance
• realistic awkwardness a la Erin over Kevin
• women eating actual food and not in a sexy way
• women not needing to ask a man for help
• women being skilled in their fields
• women being affectionate with each other
• women being confident in their identities and not being plagued with self-doubts and crying into ice cream
• an actual action sequence without tit shots or ‘sexy’ camera angles (which, fyi, was the hottest thing I have seen on the big screen this year)
• a line-up where the standard gender ratio of 4-to-1 is inverted
• WOMEN KICKING ASS AND SAVING THE WORLD
