âThe double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But itâs a wolf in sheepâs clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think youâre on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesnât make us feel good. Youâre selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. Youâre selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. Youâre like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think itâs unacceptable and I donât care if youâre a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (âŠ) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just donât think thatâs an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes⊠why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And itâs not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and theyâre even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, womenâs magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. Itâs so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.â
Jameela Jamil explains why she thinks the Kardashians are âdouble agents for the patriarchyâ

The reason why NBCâs Hannibal found such a huge female audience is because Fullerâs/Madsâ Lecter is not a male power fantasy: heâs a female power fantasy.
Heâs not a broody snippy git whose appeal is assumed apriori and who in real life would drive away absolutely everyone he met (e.g. any sad manboy ever trotted out as a lead by Moffat).
Heâs not an âaspirationalâ over-muscled hulk.
Heâs not a fighter for âtruthâ or âjusticeâ for whom bodies are just collateral on his path to heroic self-actualization
This Hannibal is the Head Bitch In Charge.
He is independent to the n-th degree. He lives to please himself and no one else. He is fabulous. He shamelessly geeks out over obscure and refined pastimes and shares them with friends. He is the Queen Bee of his social circle. He takes any excuse to treat himself, but he also has perfect self-discipline: gym is not optional. His time-management skills are superhuman. He can decorate and keep a house like Martha Stewart, hold down several jobs, and practice multiple hobbies daily.
(And what are his hobbies, aside from slaughter? Cooking, foreign languages, drawing, playing musical instruments and composing. And clearly clothes shopping. He is probably on first-name basis with the best tailors and cordwainers in town. Contrast with Will, whose hobbies are stereotypically masculine: fixing motor boats, fishing, playing outside with his dogs.)
Hannibal is not young, but he wears his age gracefully. He regrets nothing, like an embodiment of Piafâs âNon, rien de rienâ. His hair is perfect because he clearly spends time in front of the mirror styling it, not because the showâs producer wanted him to look effortlessly cool (*cough*Sherlock*cough*).
He never, ever loses his temper in public, as if he knows that the world/audience will not fawn over him for trying to assert himself through vulgarity, posturing, or volume - all the typical ways in which men like to hijack and dominate conversations.
He can dispatch a creepy stalker like Franklyn with a single neck twist, with no consequences. A sweet fantasy, indeed. If only real life stalkers were so easy to dispose of.
Hannibalâs victims - those who were not killed in self-defense or as âmurder presentsâ for Will - tend to fall into two categories: other killers who act like *they* are the baddest bitches in town (Gideon, Tobias, the mural guy) and people who disrespect him. Of those, there are surprisingly many. In fact, it seems like the very esteemed pillar of Baltimore society Dr. Lecter goes through life constantly being dissed. This is rather puzzling. Hannibal is a tall good-looking white gentleman who speaks like a professor, dresses like a count, and drives a Bentley that costs more than peopleâs houses. And yet something about him prompts many people, especially in the service industry, to be rude to him.
But he doesnât confront these âpigsâ (already a gender-loaded term, even though it gets applied to victims of both sexes) in a head-on, macho way. Instead, he bides his time and dispatches his prey through some kind of a sneak attack. His preferred philosophy of fighting is âfeminineâ: assume your opponent is physically stronger and donât try to out-muscle them. (Even if his opponent is much smaller and weaker, like Chilton.) Subterfuge, ambush, sedatives - Hannibal wins his fights by fighting on his own terms. Nevertheless, if a man should come at him with a weapon, he defends himself with perfect adroitness: Tobias, Jack, Masonâs henchmen, etc.
Even some aspects of Hannibalâs relationship with Will would make more sense if he were female. In particular the issue of, well, issue. Hannibal is clearly Not Okay with Will having children with anyone but him. This is somewhat odd for a man, especially one who seems to have never wanted kids before this. But it makes sense for a woman just past menopause: fate finally delivered her dream partner, but itâs too late to have a family. And so Hannibal sets up the dominoes for Margotâs pregnancy to be terminated practically as soon as he learns of it. If he canât have Willâs kids, then no one can. They may be adopted, but they have to be *theirs*.
It also makes sense that when Hannibal discovers Willâs treachery, he goes full Medea on him. Killing the manâs children is common to cultural narratives of wronged women all over the world. Itâs often the only leverage they have over the men, the only way they can exact revenge. Hannibal can take much more than Abigail from Will, but she is the only thing he can take that truly matters.
Bonus exercise for the reader: imagine a version of the show where everything is the same, but Hannibal is played by Meryl Streep.
Or even just swap Mads Mikkelsen & Gillian Anderson places. Let her be Hannah Lecter; let him be Dr. Bennett Du Maurier, her wary shrink. Both the characterization and plot still work almost 100%.

I think the most influential movies are the ones you see at formative times in your life. Just like you canât choose your name, you canât choose the movies you love. Itâs something that happens to you, and all of a sudden itâs a part of you.
