The article questions Sucker Punch 's prejudice against women .
`` In a retrospective article about the critical reception of Sucker Punch , James MacDowell questions the misogyny of the film , arguing that it does not in fact aim to offer female empowerment , but is instead `` '' a deeply pessimistic analysis of female oppression '' '' , because it makes clear that , `` '' just as men organize the dances , so do they control the terms of the fight scenes ; in neither do the women have true agency , only an illusion of it .
