McSweeney’s rewrote plotlines to classic films, but changed them “not to be sexist”. Here’s what they’d look like.
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi
"Luke and Leia plan to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hut. Leia is captured by Jabba, and is forced to wear a normal, full-coverage prison jumpsuit."

Gone With the Wind
"Rhett kisses and grabs at Scarlett against her will. Scarlett informs Rhett that though they are married, she still has autonomy over her body and has the right to refuse sex. The pair ascend the staircase in thoughtful conversation, and Rhett wakes up the next morning glowing with newfound feminist awareness."

A Streetcar Named Desire
"Stanley has spent the film waging psychological warfare against Blanche, who has called him a brute and an animal. In the film's climax, he tells her how insulted and objectified he has felt and firmly asks her to leave his house."
Warner Bros. / Via blog.october.co.uk
A Clockwork Orange
"The male protagonist of this film spends his evenings having consensual sex with various women. Everyone respects one another."
