It looks as though Steven Spielberg wishes to join George Lucas in the fight to destroy as many childhood memories as humanly possible. Already halfway there with the dreadful "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," the director has proposed giving the beloved character Indiana Jones a sex change.
Speaking to The Sun, Spielberg actually said that when Harrison Ford hangs up his hat and whip as the globe-trotting archeologist, a woman could take the role under the name "Indiana Joan."

Spielberg thinks his statement is a paragon of wokeness, but it's actually quite condescending, not just to men, but also to women. Similar to those who called for a gender-swap on James Bond, Spielberg's notion (however flippant or off-the-cuff) that Indiana Jones should be a woman in the name of "gender equality" demeans and insults those he wishes to empower. If women are fully capable of leading an action franchise (which they most certainly are), then they should be given the dignity of uniquely crafted characters, not hand-me-downs from their male counterparts. To suggest that a woman or a black man or anyone else can only get ahead if a white male paves the way for them is insulting.
