'The Princess Bride' Just Got A Hilarious Feminist Makeover

'The Princess Bride' Just Got A Hilarious Feminist Makeover

The only way the film "The Princess Bride" could be better is if it included some of these feminist lines.

On Nov. 12, Canadian writer Anne Thériault took to Twitter to respond to Time Magazine's decision to include the term "feminist" in their "words that should be banned in 2015" poll.

Her reaction was a perfect mix of humor, feminism, wit -- and of course -- "The Princess Bride" references.

Then Thériault's lightbulb moment:

And #FeministPrincessBride was created:

"Surrender."
