Mad Max: Fury Road is making waves as a must-see "feminist" film, largely in reaction to calls for a boycott by so-called men's rights activists (MRAs) based on analyses such as "[Charlize] Theron sure talked a lot… Nobody barks orders to Mad Max." In a desire to protect and invest in anything MRAs don't like, many women and male feminist allies raced to theaters.
As Eileen Jones notes, when you actually look for the feminist plot elements in Fury Road, there's not much there. However, there's another thing missing in Fury Road: people of color.
