I think of this every time I see conservatives criticizing liberals/feminism for not “lifting up and supporting conservative women.” NOOOOOPE not how that works. Just because we share a gender identity, I’m not required to support your abhorrent views. Lift up and support some poor women, women of color, trans* women, or really any marginalized person. Then we’ll talk about you. -Jess

Brienne’s story is an adaptation of a traditionally male narrative, one that usually sidelines or victimises female characters. She swears fealty to a woman, as male knights swear to their liege lord, because she respects that woman’s strength, her bravery and her kindness. She goes on a quest to save the beautiful maiden, but not to marry her or benefit from the quest in any way, but to return her to her mother. Because she cares for Catelyn, and because it is the right thing to do. It is a story of a woman, rescuing a woman, for the sake of another woman. It is a rare story where the mother, the young girl and the shieldmaiden are all given equal weight and worth. Brienne, despite taking on many stereotypically male traits, is not “one of the boys” or in any way dismissive of her gender as a group. She does not fit into the role that society has assigned for her, but she does not disparage those who do. She uses her strength and her skill to respect and help other women in ways that most men in Westeros would never even think to attempt, because she understands, more than any other knight, that women are truly worth something as individuals.

Natasha and the concept of Super Heroes

Anonymous asked you:
I was wondering if you could help me out. See my friend was watching Avengers for the first time today and we got to this exchange: Her: “I dont like the red haired woman.” Me: “What’s wrong with Natasha?” Her: “she doesnt fit, they needed a chick with boobs in lycra thats the only reason she is there.” Can you PLEASE explain why Natasha is there, because I linked her to your post “Why Natasha Matters” AND SHE STILL DOESN’T GET IT. She thinks that she doesn’t belong because she’s not a superhero 

 And 

 Anonymous asked you:

Okay now we’re debating Natasha’s place in the Avengers because and I quote, “It is a superhero squad” and Natasha is not a superhero. I have no problem with Natasha not being a superhero because she isn’t. She’s a spy, trained from the age of two, by a soviet spy and the Winter Soldier. What I do have a problem with is the fact that since The Avengers is a “superhero squad”, sh has no place, since she has no superpowers and is a superspy instead.

 Hmmmm.

I get the feeling, anon, that neither you nor your friend are comic book readers, just consumers of the movies.  Which is fine!  In many ways, it is good, you get to skip the bloated backstories and confusing rewrites.  In other ways, I believe you’re trying to critique a genre you do not understand, or understand in a minimalistic way.  Please forgive me for saying that, I hope I don’t come off as rude, because that’s not what I intend.

So that being said, I think your question is in two parts: One, what makes a super hero a super hero?  Two, what is Natasha’s place in the Avengers, and does she ‘deserve’ her slot on the team?

Well, let’s get started, shall we?

This is not just an explanation of Natasha’s place in the Avengers (although it does that very well). It’s a pretty fucking moving exploration of just what a superhero is and why their stories resonate. I highly recommend reading this, going off of the fact that it literally just brought me to tears.
