Whats big, green, irradiated with gamma radiation, and seeks to smash the patriarchy? Duh! Feminist Hulk. This Twitter thread came to my attention thanks to my lovely wife who has been recommending that I bring this to your attention for at least a month now. What is Feminist Hulk? Well, somebody out there in the Twitter-verse has taken the Hulk’s rage and directed it at gender and social inequality in postings that are in all capital letters because let’s face it, the Hulk yells a lot.

Such classic Feminist Hulk postings are as follows: “HULK BAKE STRAWBERRY SCONES FOR MONTHLY FEMINIST POTLUCK. HULK KITCHEN SMELL WONDERFUL. DELICIOUS BERRIES FOR SOCIAL CHANGE!” and “HULK PUT THE FUNK IN “RENDERING PATRIARCHY DEFUNCT.” HULK ALSO PUT THE FUNK IN RECYCLING, BUT NOT ABLE TO FIND PUN FOR IT” also, HULK TRY TO WRITE ANTI-HEGEMONIC SONGS. BIG HULK FINGERS SMASH GUITAR. HULK GO BACK TO SLAM POETRY.

This would lead you to believe that all this time that all Hulk really needed was a hug, which has always been my theory. Deep down inside, the big lug is as socially conscious and evniromentally green as his skin tone. This doesn’t always mesh well with the Hulk we’ve all come to know. The Hulk we’re more familiar with gets angry and smashes pretty indiscriminatly, but it’s nice to know that he’s finally focusing that rage for the greater cause of feminism and social equality.

Marvel: Why can’t this be a comic? We could get Peter Bagge to illustrate in the way he did for Strange Tales, and it would be a productive outlet for Hulk’s rage. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t mind heading to the local farmers market with Feminist Hulk. He’s an alright dude. By the way, I’d be careful if you’re a sexist or a bigot ’cause Feminist Hulk will smash you.

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry,

-Jim
