The woke "girl boss" trope is back and despite failing over and over again at the box office and in streaming numbers, Hollywood is still desperate to push the narrative that women "kick ass" and are just as strong and effective as their male counterparts.In their latest foray into fantasy land, STARZ has brought back its acclaimed Spartacus show with a new mini-series called Spartacus: House Of Ashur. The production doesn't focus on Spartacus, but another tired feminist DEI Mary Sue stand-in.To understand this trope its important to understand the progressive relationship to history. They believe that history is a tool for furthering agenda and must be adjusted to serve the greater movement. Facts are an inconvenience and evidence is stretched to support ridiculous conclusions.You might recall a hilarious film released back in 2022 called "The Woman King" that was widely heralded by the media as the next evolution in Hollywood action cinema. The movie claimed to be "based on true events" involving the women warriors of the Dahomey tribe in West Africa.The Dahomey ruled the region in the 18th and 19th centuries using an army of around 6000 warriors. The majority of these soldiers were men with a small contingent of women attached to the King's personal guard (they were considered the "third class" wives of the King - women who were far too ugly to share his bed and bear children).The Woman King depicts the Dahomey as freedom fighters battling French slave traders. The truth was actually the opposite: The Dahomey were a vicious slaver tribe that terrorized West Africa, killing other tribes as they pillaged and selling the survivors to various traders (European, Arab and African). It was, in fact, the French and the British who ultimately defeated the Dahomey in the 1890s and shut down their slavery networks in 1905. In other words, they got their asses kicked by the white man and everyone in West Africa was better off.
