Belgian cinema chain Kinepolis has been accused of being tone deaf with gift bags it gave to attendees of a women-only showing of Wonder Woman that contained several items to help with household chores.
The bags, which said ‘Cool things inside…’ and were distributed at the 6 June screening, reportedly contained a scourer, bathroom wiper, dish sponge and a pamphlet for slimming pills.
Wonder Woman, directed by a woman (a rare thing for a blockbuster), has been hailed by some for its feminist identity and message.
Kinepolis said it did not intend for the gifts to come across as misognyistic, explaining they were provided by its sponsors.
