every time i think about the so called & #39;feminists& #39; writing think pieces about how that line was misogynistic, back in the day, i lose a couple braincells..... same with complaining about lois supposedly being & #39;sexualised& #39; bc she was naked when taking a bath lmao. or that she + https://twitter.com/snotgjrl/status/1380231229040177152">https://twitter.com/snotgjrl/...
was just a & #39;damsel in distress& #39; throughout the whole movie. jfc i swear these ppl have actually no understanding of what any of these things mean, it& #39;s so incredibly enfuriating, bc you try to contradict them & they immediately brand YOU as a mysogynist lmao. +
like, lois is not sexualised bc there are actually no shots focusing on her body, there& #39;s no disrespect of her agency by having ppl still looking at her when she doesn& #39;t want it (see iron man 2, see star trek into darkness). she is with the man she loves, she& #39;s comfortable in +
