The argument is the title of the film
I know what the movie is about...
I guess I shouldn't complain, at least its not another movie about slavery.. (hopefully) I just would like to see some black Sci fi about the future. Can we get something besides lip service.. A vision, a plan.. Something
But... this isn't fiction.
Units were under female command. An 1851 published translation of a war chant of the women claims the warriors would chant, "a the blacksmith takes an iron bar and by fire changes its fashion so have we changed our nature. We are no longer women, we are men."[11]

Exactly. You can always tell which men are afraid of real women. They always tell on themselves.
Anyhow, I can't wait to see this movie!

Dahomey women were and are still badass. They took that fighting spirit to Haiti, Cuba and Brazil.

Dahomey | historical kingdom, Africa
So basically these fools c00ned so hard even the British were like.
Pandering to black women is the wave now so whatever
Dahomey was organized for war, not only to expand its boundaries but also to take captives as slaves. Slaves were either sold to the Europeans in exchange for weapons or kept to work the royal plantations that supplied food for the army and court. From approximately 1680, a regular census of population was taken as a basis for military conscription. Female soldiers, called Amazons by the Europeans, served as royal bodyguards when not in combat.
Gate of No Return, Ouidah, Benin
Gate of No Return, a monument commemorating the lives of those captured and traded as slaves, on the beach of Ouidah, Benin. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Ouidah (Whydah) was a slave-trading hub and an important centre of commerce in the kingdom of Dahomey.

Gezu heightened the splendour of the court, encouraged the arts, and refined the bureaucracy. His armies freed Dahomey from the humiliation of paying tribute to Oyo. After about 1840, however, the kingdom’s fortunes changed as Britain succeeded in putting an end to the overseas slave trade.

Yeah and they tried to keep it going and had no choice but to stop when the world market dried up for their commodities.
And c00ning is being light.

That doesn’t say anything about them wanting to be men.Units were under female command. An 1851 published translation of a war chant of the women claims the warriors would chant, "a the blacksmith takes an iron bar and by fire changes its fashion so have we changed our nature. We are no longer women, we are men."[11]
