When watching Captain Marvel, I had one major thought: I really, really loved how much they used the word “emotional.” Men have been telling women that we are too emotional to, quite frankly, do anything, because as women we are too emotional. Even though, last time I checked, it was men running the world and starting wars just after they threw a tantrum.
What I loved was how Carol took her emotions and allowed them to make her more powerful. She didn’t let men get in her way. In fact, she beat most of them up.
So what did I learn from that movie? I learned that heck freaking yeah, I’m a super emotional person. That doesn’t mean I’m weak, it means I’m strong, have empathy, and I’m powerful. So next time a man tells you that you’re too emotional to do anything, do what Captain Marvel would do.
Don’t beat them up, but hell yeah, show off your emotions. You’re tough, you know what you want, and you’re going to get it. Don’t stop until you do.
