May 21, 2015 3:07 PM UTC Mad Max, meet Ryan Gosling. George Miller’s action hero, as played by Tom Hardy in _Mad Max: Fury Road_, now has his own series of “hey girl” images, thanks to the [Feminist Mad Max Tumblr](http://feministmadmax.tumblr.com/). “Hey girl,” one post reads. “I don’t need to see the pain and humiliation you suffered as a sex slave. I believe you.” Another references a moment in the film in which Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa uses Max to take an excellent shot. It only makes sense that this Tumblr would come along, given how much of the discussion around the film has focused on its feminism. Miller brought in _Vagina Monologues_ writer Eve Ensler to consult on the movie, which focuses on Furiosa’s mission to save women kept as wives for the villainous Immortan Joe. Ensler told [TIME](http://time.com/3850323/mad-max-fury-road-eve-ensler-feminist/): “I think George Miller is a feminist, and he made a feminist action film.” Now, the movie has elicited a feminist Tumblr. \[[h/t](https://twitter.com/kejames/status/601372653547585536)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3892221/mad-max-feminist-tumblr/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3892221/mad-max-feminist-tumblr/"},"headline":"Mad Max Gets His Own Feminist Tumblr","datePublished":"2015-05-21T15:07:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:07.596Z","description":"Hey girl","url":"https://time.com/3892221/mad-max-feminist-tumblr/","keywords":["Newsfeed","feminism","movies","film","Tom Hardy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3407dc746e30bf43/6988512206f2c1caf133a48d/screen-shot-2015-05-21-at-10-16-23-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman","jobTitle":"Zuckerman is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/esther-zuckerman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3407dc746e30bf43/6988512206f2c1caf133a48d/screen-shot-2015-05-21-at-10-16-23-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2015-05-21 at 10.16.23 AM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3892221/mad-max-feminist-tumblr/","name":"Mad Max Gets His Own Feminist Tumblr"}}]}] ```
