I was in the Disney store, gazing longingly at the most gorgeous Captain Marvel hoodie that I simply can't afford. It was a thing of beauty.
Man next to me says "I'm still debating whether to see it."
Me, full of enthusiasm, "Oh, do, it's really good!"
Man replies, "Oh right, I was expecting a boring female and lots of SJW preaching. I think superhero movies need less of this feminist rubbish."
Me, mindful of it being the Disney store, and that loud swears are not the way to go, "Its not that difficult to see women as heroes, too, is it?"
He, eyebrows lifted at a woman actually forming a sentence of reply, "Oh, you're one of them are you?"
Me, sweetly smiling while taking the hoodie off the rail, "Why yes, yes I am."
And I walked away, feeling like I was wearing the damn thing.
Left it on another peg full of them elsewhere, though. I'm not made of fecking money.
