The 'Women Only Wonder Woman Screening' meme originated in May 2017 when the Alamo Drafthouse cinema in Austin, Texas, announced special screenings of the DC film exclusively for female-identifying fans. The announcement sparked an immediate and polarized reaction across social media, particularly from critics who felt the move was discriminatory, leading to a wave of satirical memes poking fun at the intensity of the online backlash. It became a hallmark of late-2010s culture war discourse, used to highlight perceived male fragility or to celebrate female empowerment in geek culture. Today, the template is used to reference any situation where a specific group gets an exclusive event that triggers a disproportionate or humorous outcry from the public.
