Viliam gave enough SJ examples, so I’ll give one from the other side: there was a campaign by some famous PUA to boycott Mad Max: Fury Road because it’s feminist propaganda. Hold on, isn’t that the movie where the attractive women in skimpy clothes are called “breeders” whose job is to make babies?
A lot of feminists agreed with the PUAs’ assessment of the movie as being pro-feminist. The guy who treated women as breeding stock was the antagonist. You aren’t supposed to sympathize with Immortan Joe.

I’ve seen PUA stuff and I’ve seen the movie. Whilst it’s true that the protagonists are mostly female and the bad guy is male, I wouldn’t say it’s pushing a feminist message. I don’t think that the film vilifies men as a whole. I’m much more annoyed about ghostbusters actually.
