Have the guys complaining about women-only Wonder Woman movie showings ever read Wonder Women comics?
When the Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas announced they would be holding a few women-only showings of the upcoming Wonder Woman movie, the angry dudes of the internet all cried “foul” at once.
And when one bold man — a conservative journalist by the name of Stephen Miller — bought a ticket for one of these women-only showings, and announced on Twitter he fully intended to attend, darnit, these men knew they had found their Rosa Parks. Only white. And a dude. And not even slightly oppressed by any reasonable definition of the term.
Still, the angry dudes took to Twitter to share their thoughts. Well, their thought. They all seemed to have the exact same one, and they haven’t gotten tired of repeating it yet.
@Daniel23hardy @redsteeze @jhoffman Why can't the little old colored lady just sit at the back of the bus? Why spoil it for the rest of the passengers?

@nbrink77 @redsteeze "Mrs Parks, why can't you just sit in the back of the bus and leave the front to white folks?"

@Patrick5mith @redsteeze People said the same about Rosa Parks "what are you so mad about? You can sit at the back of the bus"

@gaytonys Its not like the black person couldn't sit in the back of the bus or anything…

@MrStackpoole @donttrythis Why complain that you have to sit at the back of the bus Rosa? You got to ride didn't you?

@literary_lottie @justkelly_ok "Why can't the coloreds just sit in the back of the bus." That's your argument.

@512gooner @redsteeze There was a seat at the back of the bus for Rosa Parks — but she chose not to go there and was a hero for it.

@Obi_Two_Kenobi @redsteeze @AlamoNYC I doubt it but I'd lay money on it you'd tell Rosa to sit in the back of the bus.

@moviecricket @BilgeEbiri Sure, just like it's totally legit to require black ppl to sit at back of the bus, still being accommodated, right?

@EzeeT @thanasis_gian @Great_White77 @washingtonpost "separate but equal"
"back of the bus, front of the bus- what's the big deal?"
"plenty of other lunch counters nearby"

@SamPrell @redsteeze Imagine being such a triggered crybaby that you boycott over someone getting arrested for refusing to sit in the back of the bus.

@CoralSeason8 @Mike_P_Williams Why doesn't Rosa Parks go sit in the back of the bus? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@petermcclellan Can't possibly let a group of whites have something to themselves, right? You couldn't possibly go at the back of the bus, right?

@Srawsome @KageInTraining @Jennife96039053 @CathyYoung63 @ptoothfish @AlanaMassey It's just one bus. One seat. In the back of the bus. Exclusion is exclusion. Opposite of diversity. No need. Principle. Stand for it.

@ChaseBrowns @redsteeze Be respectful, sit in the back of the bus,You'll still get there. Eat at that restaurant. You don't need to vote, that's for men. Sinking in

@giufuliafa @MartiniShark @jhoffman Any discrimination is bad. Would it be ok if I only made black ppl ride at the back of the bus once a day?

@WussRealson @stillgray and rosa parks could have moved to the back of the bus, it's not like they told her to get off.

@giantcu92 @redsteeze Ya, and besides the seats at the back of the bus are just the same. Some ppl just don't know their place, amiright?!?

@jacob_schatz @Mranthr0pe @LetTheDiceFall @redsteeze It's almost as bad as complaining about having to sit at the back of the bus. What an uppity man!

@feminikki @redsteeze "The seats at the back of the bus are just as comfortable as the ones at the front, so what's the problem?"

(@JFKfuckedMonroe) @julesrivera I don't know, which one bothered black people who had to sit at the back of the bus and use separate water fountains?

@DreemiFilms @victorymonk @JKNicholson1 @AlamoNYC So back of the bus is ok

Er, sorry about that last one. I don’t think that dude is talking about the Wonder Woman movie at all.
