It's so bizarre to misunderstand Paul Verhoeven, a filmmaker who comes onto the set with a big mallet with THE POINT engraved on its head and swings it straight at your face.

That made me chuckle. On a smilar note, there were tons of “educated” feminists who utterly missed the pretty obvious points of Ex Machina. Though these ideas were not as completely in your face as a Verhoeven flick, they weren’t all that subtle, either.

Goes to show that you can educate someone all you want, but you can’t make them not be a dumbass.
