“Man, why do all these comic book chicks have daddy issues?”

Tony Stark’s character arc is driven by ambivalence toward his father’s legacy.

Bruce Banner’s powers are the literal, physical manifestation of his alienation from his own capacity for violence due to the abuse he suffered at his father’s hands.

Thor… man, do I even need to explain it?

A better question might be: why are daddy issues only contemptible when it’s a woman having them?

Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’ What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’ This is the matriarchal approach to learning.

“So much of desire, at that age, was a willful act. Trying so hard to slur the rough, disappointing edges of boys into the shape of someone we could love. We spoke of our desperate need for them with rote and familiar words, like we were reading lines from a play. Later I would see this: how impersonal and grasping our love was, pinging around the universe, hoping for a host to give form to our wishes.”

–Emma Cline, The Girls

“The violence of racism is that it makes you believe that you have to be someone other than yourself in order to be loved.” - Clint Smith
