Avengers: Endgame. The highest-grossing movie of all time. The movie that beat Avatar for the No. 1 position at the box office. It's a great movie. Despite the plot holes, deviations from the main characters' typical behavior, Steve and Bucky's last scene together, and how broken my heart was, I loved it. However, there's one scene that bothered me just the tiniest bit and I know it certainly caused some old, middle-aged white men to complain online.
We all recognize this scene, right? Good.

Now, I pride myself on being an intersectional feminist and a woman. Fuck the patriarchy, patriarchal culture, gender norms, the gender binary, and the institutionalization of gender. Fuck inequality. Fuck xenophobia and racism. Fuck it all. I love powerful, take-charge women, and women in general. (If you could not tell, yes, I am also a proud lesbian.)
