Defiant hero defends Man’s World by buying ticket for women’s-only Wonder Woman screening
The internet’s general lack of chill about the Alamo Drafthouse’s recently announced women’s-only screening of Wonder Woman bumped up another level yesterday—from “not very chill at all” to “Oh God, female Ghostbusters, run!”—when adult boy Stephen Miller decided to stick it to…someone? Presumably?…by purchasing a ticket to the June 8 showing in New York. Miller—who writes for Heatstreet, penning stuff like “Kendall Jenner’s Pepsi Ad Is The Death Knell For Obama’s Beloved Protest Culture” and “Our Children Are Watching: ‘Nasty Women’ Spout Anti-Trump Vulgarities At Women’s March”—spent a day or so complaining on Twitter about the Alamo’s violently non-violent attack on his manhood, before posting a picture suggesting that he’d decided to put his money where his tantrum-hole is.
As Miller has delighted in telling people irritated by his decision—in that “I am speaking calmly, so you must be the asshole” tone so beloved by internet trolls—there’s nothing illegal about purchasing a ticket to a screening. That argument does, though, gloss over the fact that, while barging into a space you’ve been asked to stay out of just because that request made you feel briefly tiny and weak doesn’t make you a criminal, it does make you an insecure piece of shit.
