Why Billy Wilder's The Apartment is Not a Critique of "Toxic Masculinity"

When I was a feminist, I devoured feminist critiques of media like I didn't know where my next meal was coming from, but now they actively piss me off. I'm kicking off a series where I counter feminist media criticism with a dose of reality. In this video, I explain why I think the AV Club's representation of Billy Wilder's The Apartment as an "indictment of toxic masculinity" is totally off base, and what I think the movie is really about.
