Think “bros” can’t be advocates for gender equality? Think again.
That’s the premise of Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny’s video, starring Jamie and John Frusciante as feminist bros.
And these bros are NOT fans of movies that don’t feature enough women… like The Expendables.
Kilstein told Huffington Post that the origin of this video comes from some of the haters he and Kilkenny acquire online:
Kilkenny and Kilstein are “outspoken about rape culture and feminism” on their radio show and in their forthcoming book Newsfail, which touches on these subjects and other issues the authors feel mainstream media does not cover adequately. This earns them a lot of “horrible bros tweeting at us,” Kilstein said. “We sorta loved the idea of these two horrible sounding bros being more progressive than a lot of bros on the left.”
The good news is that there should be more episodes of Feminist Bros coming up in the future.
Er ok. Feminists hate dudebros? Seen an awful lot of shaming from fembots towards ‘bro’ culture (not sure is there an actual term).
I don’t think it’s that – I think they sort of did the “absurd” as comedians often do, by combining two things that don’t often go together. They aren’t exactly opposite, but maybe rather just typically not found together.
Also, what is a “fembot”?
