Have you seen the movie? And to blame the movie for kids watching it is absolutely ridiculous. Put the blame where it should be, with the parents.
Also, newsflash about kids and teens: They don't give a fuck about politics and aren't going to give a shit about what is getting the rights panties all bunched up. They want to watch a movie and laugh, and if you could get over yourself, you'd have a good laugh too.
Quick personal question, do you make your kids go to church?
I'm not religious but their mother is Jewish and so they go to the synagogue. Why is that?
You're concerned with political messages in a movie (mostly about women in power) and then force religion on your children. You do see the irony right?
I have to recognise that I'm in a odd situation here and so you're right about that. What I'll say is that marriage and parenting can be complex things and, although I'm an atheist but my partner isn't, we did talk about this aspect before committing to having kids. Personally I do my part to pass on what I believe to be the good aspects of life onto them and, although they are taught Judaism, I also teach them critical thinking, questioning everything that doesn't seem right or fair and so, in that sense, I'm no hypocrite.
I didn't realize what sub this was, and for that, I apologize. I respect your decisions with your teaching to your children and as an atheist myself, my question/concern would be if your children are taugh Judaism and you're teaching them to question everything, that (depending on the age I guess) could be very confusing to children.
As confusing as being brought up as a Catholic boy and being taught the same way by my parents and learning to be aware enough to not fall for the church rabbit hole. I know of at least two other boys that attended youth catechism same time as me that weren't so lucky and we only found out about the abuses years later. Today one can't question the current narrative without ridicule, even if you're questioning the method and not the merit...
