Yesterday Women Making Films (India) published my review of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), the second part of a series of feminist critiques I am writing about superhero films. My review of The Batman (2022) was published last week (read it here). Although I found the latest installment of the Spider-Man franchise entertaining, ultimately it was disappointing because it had little to offer female viewers. You can read my review here. The Academy Awards ceremony (the Oscars) is tonight, and I'll have some commentary about that soon. Copyright © 2022 Alline Cormier

Yesterday Women Making Films (India) published the first of a series of feminist critiques I am writing about superhero films. This one focused on the latest installment of the Batman franchise, The Batman, which is currently holding the number one spot at the box office. It is a dark film brimming with violence and angry, vengeful men. You can read it here. My second article for Series: Superhero films through a feminist lens will be published next week. Women Making Films is a not-for-profit community that, according to its website, "strives to connect, facilitate and showcase the work of its members through film screenings, workshops, film festivals and other interactive programmes." Vaishnavi Sundar, WMF’s founder and a filmmaker and women's rights activist from India, is dedicated to countering the inequality in the film industry and creating a global solidarity of female filmmakers. Her latest film, Dysphoric, is a four-part documentary series on the rise of gender identity ideology and its effects on women and girls, especially in developing countries. Copyright © 2022 Alline Cormier  Happy International Women's Day, ladies!   It looks like today may be a day of surprises. I just discovered on Twitter that a Spanish woman living in Switzerland translated into Spanish my latest article in 4W, which you can read here. Given that I hadn't asked her to do this it took me quite by surprise. You can read her translation here. To my knowledge this is the first time that one of my articles has been translated. 4W is a publication founded by M. K. Fain in 2019. According to its website, "4W exists to give a platform to today’s feminists who are boldly stepping outside of the mainstream narrative to unapologetically bring you stories about the issues affecting women today." 4W actually pays its female writers, which is uncommon. It also allows women who have otherwise been cancelled and deplatformed to have a voice. In a world sorely lacking in regard for women and girls 4W is a breath of fresh air.
