Tell me you’re a psycho feminist without telling me you’re a psycho feminist.
Back in 2015, director Sharmeen Obaid-Chino spoke at a Women in the World event. At the event she insisted that her goal is to “make men uncomfortable.” The director is set to release a new Star Wars film in 2026 and users online insisted her goal is going to make the movie “flop.”
The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh tweeted a clip from the panel where Obaid-Chino professed her anti-man agenda. Presently the clip is at 1.8 million views and counting. It’s also got 20 thousand likes and a slew of replies bashing the director's motives.

During the panel, Obaid-Chino was asked if she seeks to “permeate that patriarchy, that power structure” and asked if that was “a part of the calculation of [her] art.”
“Oh absolutely. I like to make men uncomfortable. I enjoy making men uncomfortable,” Obaid-Chino said with confidence, adding, “I am working to bring something that makes you uncomfortable and it should make you uncomfortable because you need to change your attitude.”
The new Star Wars film is set to be about the character Rey and her journey in building a new Jedi Order. Obaid-Chino said “it’s about time” that she, a woman of color, was given the job of directing a film for the franchise. I sure hope it was because she’s talented and not just because of diversity demographics that she was given the job … then again, this is Disney we’re talking about and identity politics has become its main product.

With that understanding, it’s no surprise that people online are skeptical that the new movie will do well.
Walsh said it is “destined to be Disney’s biggest flop yet.”
“Star Wars has historically had a mostly male audience. This is studio suicide,” one user wrote. He’s right. If Obaid-Chino wanted her film to do well, why would she craft it to make the target audience uncomfortable? Another user shared the sentiment insisting, “I thought the point of a movie was to entertain the audience.”
Libs of TikTok added, “It’s like they ENJOY losing money,” and one more wrote, “At this point Disney is trying to destroy themselves,” with laughing emojis.
At this point all we can do is laugh because Disney has made just about every effort it can to get people to hate all the wokeness it stands for. I know what I won’t be seeing in 2026!
