I finally finished Mayans MC (spin-off of Sons of Anarchy) and in the second to last episode the main character has an accident and Jax Teller’s ex is the one to give him a ride to get help. In the car she says that men have it so easy because they can beat their chests and act like kids well into adulthood but women are the ones who really have it rough. Of course the main character offered no pushback. But hey I’m sure all the construction workers, miners, sewer workers, military, police, first responders, firefighters, farmers, etc. can rest easy knowing they have it easy.

Firstly, there’s only two movies, not “the other two.” So you’ve possibly watched half, which makes your criticisms ill-informed.
You’ve also ignored my points on good man, competent men, evil women and motherhood; all things that SJWs viciously hate.
As I said originally, you’re just reaching. Don’t like a strong female lead? Fine, but be honest about it. Don’t try and insinuate it’s in the vein of current_year politics.
I saw enough of it to know that I didn't like it, I'm not going to force myself to hate watch something when I watch media to de-stress. I do enough of that when it comes to hate playing games I don't like as part of my research. You can get defensive about something you clearly like yourself but I'm just calling it like I see it, this shit does stretch back.
I can tell you now as well, with regards to some of the stuff I can't watch anymore. The Simpsons was something I watched regularly back in the day, however you can only watch those seasons like with a lot of modern shit now up until a certain point and that point you can pin point exactly where they started hopping on the woke train. Even when they weren't overtly woke though, Family Guy and South Park has the same thing going on them where they always had a left wing bent.
Every creator is obviously going to have their bias, but like how you know now what somebody's opinions are likely to be simply based on what region they're posting from you know that because it's Hollywood and LA the fucking coastal elites really are pushing their shit. They just happened to be smarter back then and capable of doing it more subtly.
Which is why I said, “your opinion is ill informed.” It sounds like you’ve watched a fight or two and know nothing about the film.
You ignore everything else I’ve said- specifically, the portrayals of the men and evil women- to focus on “by the power of my vagina.”
Reach, pure and simple.
No, you're reaching, tiny blonde women don't go running around on revenge sprees right after being hospitalised. At least explain it with something plausible like she gained super strength or has magic powers for fuck's sake.
It’s all in the story, now you’re being silly.
She’s a super skilled elite assassin trained by a ferocious warrior monk, whose sole motive is revenge. If you don’t like that, fine, but stop with the Mary Sue insinuation. You just sound ignorant.
