YES!!!! To boot, the film was written by a woman and a man, Gerwig and her partner Baumbach. I thought the ending was very pro-man. If anything I was slightly annoyed the Kendom part of the movie was so long but I also felt like it addresses the problematic aspects of having any gender driven utopia narrative / it’s inherently creating a second class to the secondary gender. I liked that the movie surfaced this in a thoughtful and provocative way and thank you for the link to the speech. It was so accessible and I felt it in my bones
