you must be good

Anyone who did not like this movie either has no understanding of what it means to be a human being or simply is an empty headed misogynist who only reads comics for their own personal satisfaction (iykwim)

I cannot tell you what it meant to me to go into Supergirl and see a woman getting to be angry and fucked up on screen and see her WIN. To see her be RIGHT. To see her be Angry and Fucked Up and Not Always Nice but to still be GOOD. I was crying watching it. She's angry, but that doesn't mean she's wrong - Kara and Ruthye both have every right to be angry! - but their anger... doesn't make them bad people. It makes them do something about it.

As a woman who's been told my whole life that I'm too angry, that I need to be nicer, that I'm too bitter and fucked up.... Yeah I needed that.

I loved Supergirl for trying to break down how society views and treats girls and women... and how it is often dictated to us from a young age how we should act, how we should hide our emotions, how we should hide behind a mask.

We need more films and television shows where it tells women and girls that it's okay to express your feelings. There is no wrong or right away to do it. My biggest pet peeve is hearing people telling girls and women that it's 'not ladylike to behave like that'. Yet, when you tell a grown man having a meltdown in a store that 'It's not very manly stomping your feet, throwing things, and yelling...' We are looked at as being nags.

Women are told all the time to 'calm down', 'you don't have the right to be upset', 'you're stupid for being angry'. And we are expected to take it because that is what society expects out of us. I am glad that a film with a superhero in it shows girls and women that 'no, you are allowed to feel something. You are allowed to be angry. Just don't allow that anger to consume and destroy you'.

But, clearly we have a long way to go to break down what society expects of their girls and women, don't we? I can understand criticism of a movie, but when it is outright hatred towards girls and women that is where I draw the line. Somebody mentioned in another post that if it was a male superhero that acted the way Supergirl did, that the audience would have reacted a bit more positively. And I find that I have to agree with what they said because it is true.

Just watched supergirl and oh my god i am so obssed with the fact that we have a female main character and shes sloppy and snippy and rude and an alcoholic and messy and flawed. And yet shes still able to be kind and good and be an inspiration to people. All while not having a romance and while not trying to appeal to anyone. This is what everything should be.

I like that Supergirl says it’s okay to kill someone’s abuser so long as you don’t let the thirteen year old do it and I like that Supergirl says vengeance will not solve things but neither will allowing a cycle of violence to continue

And I like how Supergirl addresses the real issues and lets the girls be messy instead of "teaching her a lesson" that she needs to be nicer. She is not nice but she is kind!

I’m not going to defend Robby’s behavior towards Samira because it was wrong and cruel and deeply, deeply unprofessional. But I also find the reactions to it incredibly ironic. The Pitt is at its core about extreme burnout in the healthcare field, particularly amongst emergency medicine personnel, and how that ripples out and affects absolutely everyone around them—their colleagues, their relationships, the entire community. Over and over again, the Pitt asks of its audience: even in the face of extreme and sometimes unforgivable behavior, can you find the same empathy that is constantly and endlessly demanded of our healthcare providers? And for so many it seems like the answer to that question is a definitive, categorical no. Which funnily enough, is exactly the point the show is trying to make.

Hello my bright eyed bushy tailed intern whom I have decided to hoist onto a pedestal where you cannot realistically maintain this idealized image I have of you without shattering my complete(ly misplaced) faith and adoration in you and thus cause irreparable damage to my already very fragile mental health that will lead to my eventual suicide. Which you will inevitably blame yourself for because you want to save everyone and you want to make me proud but you can't possibly do both because I'm forcing you into a corner you didn't ask to be in. And you're nothing like me so I'm going to leave you with a ghost that is going to haunt the house you will live in and the place you will work in and where you will save lives in and watch people die in and my picture will adorn the wall of everyone who couldn't be saved. And whether I know this or not, I'm going to leave you to fill my shoes and on one no good and very bad day they're going to lead you to the edge of the rooftop and you're going to feel my hand on your shoulder one more time.
