Took my 3 year old niece to see Supergirl. Half way in she cried and told her friend “I can’t believe the hegemonic cis-heteronormative patriarchy has finally been decolonized enough to grant narrative sovereignty to a female superhero. At long last I witness my full intersectional self—my gendered, embodied, and existentially marginalized subjectivity—mirrored back to me on the silver screen in all its radical, agentic glory. This shatters the phallocentric gaze and liberates the symbolic order. I want to be just like her, wielding power as praxis while dismantling every oppressive structure in her path.” I was unable to hold back my tears.
