What We Think

As mid-2000s teen fare goes, 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' keeps its wokeness fairly light. It values friendship and personal struggles more than ideology. There are hints of empowerment, but nothing overwhelmingly woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The narrative focuses on personal growth and friendship rather than checking identity boxes. While the group is somewhat diverse for its time, characters largely have distinct personalities and flaws, and their identities don’t feel shoehorned.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Themes of family, friendship, and coming-of-age remain front and center. There’s no heavy-handed undermining of tradition or overt agenda-pushing around gender roles or cultural roots, though the film does lean into girl-power territory.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t ridicule or villainize traditional perspectives, nor does it completely erase disagreement. Most characters share modern ideas on relationships and independence, but there’s no explicit ideological browbeating.
