I have been watching this DC comic TV show and almost always a thought wells up regarding what a significantly important era we live in particularly for women. Without delving into specifics, this time is a time like no other for women and instead of being thankful and using the freedoms we have to bless others(which seems a good reason for wanting this power in the first place) women want more and they become as power hungry as the male dominated society they first sought to be equal to.
As each era is visited the distinctions given to this one become very clear especially in the roles that may be filled by a woman. Setting this show aside, it was also clear by the novel "Jane Eyre" which could not even be seen as being written and published except through an assumed pen name which was male because of the strict social norms of the patriarchal society. Let alone the fact that Jane was herself an orphaned woman who still was self sufficient. Could it be possible that a woman actually had worth beyond being a male sex toy? And yet, women still obsess about appealing to men or usurping their dominance.
I applaud the equality and wish I held a great remote control to hit the pause button. So we could simply come to appreciate how much we have gained before we loose any femininity in seeking more power and domination.
