A Texas movie theater is planning a women only screening of the soon-to-be-released film “Wonder Woman”… at least they thought it was going to be women only.
In response to the expected push back, the famous Alamo Drafthouse cinema added a screening to its New York location, and to rub salt in the wound, announced proceeds will be going to Planned Parenthood.
We're proud to be hosting #WonderWoman screenings for women ONLY (incl our staff) w/ all proceeds going to @PPFA! 🎟: https://t.co/ILueTsJH6R pic.twitter.com/LmmgAnmBcg

The Alamo Drafthouse website says of the event: “Apologies, gentlemen, but we’re embracing our girl power and saying ‘No Guys Allowed’ for one special night at the Alamo Ritz. And when we say ‘People Who Identify As Women Only,’ we mean it. Everyone working at this screening — venue staff, projectionist, and culinary team — will be female.”
But that plan went awry when Stephen Miller, known online as @redsteeze, shared on Twitter that he had bought a ticket.

Not only does Miller appear to have every intention of showing up among the sea of estrogen, he has a plan for staying put:

In response to a social media user’s suggestion, Miller let it be known that he will not be “identifying” as a woman for the day — of which, the Drafthouse’s totally accepting:
@PPFA Want to clarify these WONDER WOMAN screenings include any of our guests who identify as women as well.

The backlash from feminists and other liberals to Miller’s heroics was far more fierce the initial reaction to the event — not that he didn’t have his share of supporters.
Here’s a sampling of the responses from Twitter:
*tannoy* can Stephen Miller's mommy please come to the sandpit he has soiled himself for attention https://t.co/hv865Rfnxx

@redsteeze Imagine being such a triggered crybaby that you have to swing your dick at a women-oriented event just to show everyone you have one.

@redsteeze I can’t attend the Wonder Woman screening because I identify as a grown-up.

@redsteeze I thought feminists wanted men to see strong, confident female leads in film. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@redsteeze Congrats, Stephen, you’ve triggered quite a few people. Will you have a camera following to the showing? I’ll have the ? ready.
