Not even afraid to bring up Comics yo:
1. Tony consistently trusts women over men. Not just because “women are more trustworthy” but truly trusts their expertise and advise.
- Vol 3, wouldn’t listen to Scott Lang for shit but Jane Foster says the same thing and Tony 100% changes his tune
- Vol 3, opened a WOMAN’S SHELTER FOR ABUSED WOMEN AND TEENS PICKED UP PROSTITUTES, PAID THEM FOR TWO HOURS SO THEY COULD TALK WITH A BLACK FEMALE THERAPIST HE PUT IN CHARGE OF SAID SHELTER AND HE FUCKING LEFT
- Vol 3, felt like a CREEPER for checking out Rumiko while she was wind surfing, he didn’t even say anything he was just “Oh look at that pretty woman being all awesome” and then fucking felt like a creeper when she spotted him
- Vol 1, when Carol Danvers (as a reporter) said Stark Industries didn’t have enough women he volunteered that he was piloting a program to get more women involved
2. Tony puts women in charge whenever he can
- West Coast Avengers, Tony appointed Wanda. Yeah, he did some dick things but Wanda didn’t let him get away with it
- Avengers Initiative, Tony appointed Carol deliberately because he not only trusted her expertise as a leader but also knew she would never let him cross a line
- Continually left/leaves Pepper in charge of the company that he deems his personal legacy and responsibility for the world.
3. Tony will side with women over men. IN A GODDAMN HEARTBEAT
- Avengers Disassembled, rebuttaled Stephen Strange when Strange suggested Wanda needed to be killed
4. Tony is literally the epitome of “Chivalry” like ya’ll think Steve Rogers is because he’s from the 40s??? Tony frickin’ went to all boys boarding school where they TEACH CLASSES on proper etiquette, and would ditch class to read King Arthur. And you wanna come into my house, MY HOUSE, suggesting little Tony reading King Arthur did not LOVE Guinevere???? And does not carry those idealistic morals into his adulthood??? HAVE YOU NOT SEEN HIS AESTHETIC???
5. Tony almost married someone named Indries Moomji, she used and abused him and broke his heart but guess what guys. When she did it, he came in all excited to see the woman he thought he loved and was affectionately pawing at her and she told him to stop and HE STOPPED. He LOOKED LIKE A HURT PUPPY BUT HE STOPPED. He didn’t shit talk, he didn’t play stupid ass games, he stopped and when she told him she was done with him he LEFT AND GOT DRUNK AND RHODEY HAD TO TAKE HIM TO HIS MOTHER’S HOUSE
6. Tony’s advise to Vision about women was to stop reading dumbfuck magazines and just enjoy getting to know her as a person and that the adventure in getting to know someone is the FUN PART
7. Tony Stark is a helpless hopeless romantic who has been abused as a child from his father, had a mother that defended him which left him believing in the power and trust of women. Has had nothing but fierce women in his life both romantically and platonically that DO. NOT. PUT. UP. WITH. HIS. SHIT. But he’s been broken beyond that and so hides under sarcasm and flirtatious banter to move through a society that requires it’s top echelon males to act a certain way, and yet STILL is a leader both professionally and personally in the proper way to treat HUMAN BEINGS IN GENERAL but ESPECIALLY WOMEN and not just white women either. Black women, Asian Women, Middle Eastern Women. Women from all backgrounds and all colors.
8. The best part about ALL of this, is even in canon people talk like this about Tony Stark, and you know what he does? He goes around supporting young women like RiRi, he gives Kamala hugs and reassurance, he keeps in touch with Carol to keep him grounded and support her in ways no one else understands, he keeps Natasha in touch with reality (and Natasha will CUT A BITCH over Tony Stark), and he was trying to impress an MIT research doctor with FEMALE THOR.
Tony Stark is the feminist we need but don’t deserve, you know why? Because he’s REAL. He treats women as PEOPLE, not as objects to be saved and yet at the same time he treats them as GODDESSES to be worshipped.
I could go on but it’s late and my brain isn’t working, but the point is for ever half ass joke, whether you appreciate it or not, for every bullshit “Tony slapping someone’s ass”, for every moment Tony is in a strip club or expressing that male chauvinistic side there are TENS if not HUNDREDS of times he’s done nothing but used his standing as a rich white male to be an ally to women.
