Misogynistic (https://oru.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1789601/FULLTEXT01.pdf) in the sense that for a supposed "girl power" (https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/11/the-complicated-legacy-of-the-2000-charlies-angels) action movie (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2374623815627789), all of the women are practically portrayed as ditzy (https://www.imdb.com/review/rw0561384/), boy-crazy (https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/charlies-angels-gay-homoerotic-characters) fetish objects (https://collider.com/does-charlies-angels-hold-up/). And all they seemingly do is put on skimpy costumes (https://luxhedera.livejournal.com/51401.html), get into terribly choreographed (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0160127/reviews) and unconvincing fights (https://www.christian-sauve.com/2000/11/page/2/), and talk about boys like teenage girls at a slumber party (https://www.salon.com/2000/11/03/charlies/). Basically, it's like a 13 year old boy's idea (https://www.mamamia.com.au/charlies-angels-original/) of what a strong female character (http://www.fthismovie.net/2017/08/heavy-action-charlies-angels.html) looks like (http://afilmadaybysonia.blogspot.com/2018/06/charlies-angels-2000.html), don't you agree?
