In Moxie, the new Netflix movie directed by Amy Poehler, a high school protagonist and her compatriots force adults to choose sides in the feminist culture war, painting a brutally accurate picture of the failures of modern feminism.

Barely eight minutes into the film, the young activists of Moxie are “smashing the patriarchy” by canceling The Great Gatsby. Opening his discussion of this classic novel, the literature teacher asks, “How are women treated?” One of the leading feminist activists in the film, Lucy, responds: “Well, I think the real question is, why are we still reading this book?” Lucy dismisses the book as “written by some rich white guy about some rich white guy.”
