Eve Ensler: Mad Max Fury Road

Traditionally leadership, strength, and independence are what defined masculinity. Roles for both men and women were established and were not be altered as that was considered a taboo. Take, for instance, a woman was considered a childbearing item, and her responsibilities were household roles only. A woman vying for a leadership position was uncouth. A man on the hand was the leader who was considered more powerful and whose responsibility was to provide for his family. Such masculinity attributes saw a lot of women harassed for being women; they would be beaten up and viewed as sex slaves with no one to fight for their rights. For a long time, powerful women in the society, case in point, Eve Ensler, have fought for equality.

Eve Ensler participated in the film Mad Max Fury Road. This involvement was very important in the fight for equality of all genders. The director of the film being a man he needed the advice of a female feminist with experience such as Eve Ensler to take part in the film. The film required the input of this empowered woman on issues of rape and sex slavery. The presence of Eve Ensler shaped the character of the movie not to be victims but to be empowered. I think if Eve Ensler were not involved, the film would have been a bit different in terms of how characters would act. That is, they would not have valuable information on feminism, and thus their actions would have taken a different path. The film depicts how dystopia is a bad thing and how women are fighting against it. How there is still injustice and hardship, which, as a community, needs not to be the case.
