Wired has a gushing review of the Mad Max reboot:
Lightning rarely strikes twice, so going into Mad Max: Fury Road it's hard not to dwell on the words of Max Rockatansky himself: "You know hope is a mistake. If you can't fix what's broken, you'll go insane." The thing is, Max is wrong. Fury Road is everything fans could have hoped for.
It's also a very necessary movie right now. Fury Road is not only a reminder of what big, beautiful action movies can and should look like, it's a reminder that they can have a point. That spectacle can have substance. That, in a cinematic landscape where we're still fighting over the roles women get in movies, a new Ripley might just be waiting in the next trailer you see. (In Fury Road's case, that's Charlize Theron in a heart-stoppingly badass performance as Imperator Furiosa.)
Cars, guns, desert, and 1980's style post-apocalyptic fashion.

1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner [ncadv.org].
So, yes. Perhaps the girls were mean. And remember, if a man attempts self defense against a violent woman that takes any other form than curling into a ball and hoping for the best, he'll be lucky not to be hauled off to prison.
