Just thinking back to the time I visited the Minoan Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete, followed by the archaeological museum.
The Minoans lived 2600-1450 BC. There’s quite a few archaeological sites that have been used to figure out what their culture was like. As their language hasn’t been deciphered until today, researchers are forced to make sense of what they found in terms of cultural items and buildings.
This is legit how my visit went, all info from guides, guide books and info signs explaining the archeological discoveries.
Researchers: So, it’s really weird. We found a shitton of paintings and figurines depicting lots and lots of people, but there isn’t a single one that depicts a king or something like that. So we unfortunately have no idea what their social system was like.
Me: Ok, cool. :)
Researchers: Yeah, and it gets even weirder. The majority of paintings show women. There’s also a lot of jewelry that was discovered that is like super delicately made for the time, and hardly any weapons, which is weird, too. And when you look at the paintings, all the women are wearing really nice clothes and lots of jewelry and maybe even make-up. A lot of times the men are just in the background and they‘re wearing just loincloths. Really weird. Where are all the normal men?
Me: Okay….
Researchers: It gets even weirder than that. There are paintings and figurines that display several women, with one of them symbolically raised above the others, so we think that was was probably a goddess they worshipped at the time - normally, they’d deict kings that way. But the strange thing about the goddess is that is that the woman always changes, and a goddess would’ve stayed the same for generations. Just really odd. Clearly, it’s impossible to tell what their societal structure was like.
Me: Uh….
Researchers: Oh, also, the queen‘s chambers in the palace are literally at the heart of the structure, and the only way to get there is through what we think was the king‘s chambers. That’s also just so weird, cos usually it‘d be the other way around and the king as the most important and most valuable person would be the most difficult to get to.
Me: Um…
Researchers: Did we mention that the palace has a really well-working latrine system at the bottom that is covered in paintings showing blood and women that we think are on their periods? Maybe there was some kind of fertility cult happening. There’s so many figurines that are pregnant, too. Maybe that’s why we have those paintings with the goddesses we mentioned earlier. Fertility goddesses?
Me: …
Researchers: It really is such a shame that we can’t tell anything about the social structure because we have no paintings of the men. :-/ But look, the graves are also all full of depictions of women! :) :) :)
Just - really? I know we can’t say for sure, but - really? Is it so hard to follow the logical conclusion here? At least as a working thesis until it’s disproven?

Whedon: A Pattern of Misogyny
Firing Charisma Carpenter for “daring” to get pregnant without his “permission”
James Marsters allegedly threatened to quit following the “Spike-rapes-Buffy” scene in Seeing Red (6x19)
On that note, apparently no one liked filming that episode
Dollhouse, as inventive and amazing as it is, is FULL of his personal views on women
The way Natasha is reintroduced in The Avengers, how later her breasts are constantly emphasized
Loki referring to Nat as a “mewling quim” FOR NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL. (I’ve heard from the grapevine Hiddleston felt so bad that he repeatedly apologized to Scarlett between takes?)
Natasha bringing up her infertility and thinking it makes her “a monster” because “it made doing bad things easier”. SJ was pregnant during filming of AoU
This list is not exhaustive. Please feel free to add more. These are just the examples I am aware of.

Tony finally learns how to meme and Peter does Not like the developement hc?
oh very cursed.
• it’s probably by chance that tony finds out using memes bothers peter

• once he figures it out, he probably goes out of his way to use memes at every opportunity, just to make peter uncomfortable. he makes it his personal mission. he asks people for help (like pepper)

• of course she says no. so he uses the meme knowledge he has on his own for a while!
• peter finds it somewhat amusing, but mainly super unnerving. like??? memes are his thing! he’s the internet child! dads aren’t supposed to get memes!

avengers endgame treated their female characters terribly
natasha romanoff:
spent the five years after the snap acting as the leader of the avengers and was never given any recognition. sacrificed her life for the universe and the ones she loved most. and what was she given in return? whiny man pain, a single tear down steve’s face, and bruce banner throwing a bench into the water. (compare to tony, who died surrounded by his loved ones, had people kneel around him, and a funeral)
okoye & valkyrie:
sidelined for the entirety of the film
carol danvers:
sidelined for the entirety of the film despite being the most powerful character
nebula:
shot herself (2014 nebula) in the head. while this is symbolic and all, 2014 nebula could have grown and changed just like 2024 nebula had if she was given the chance. nebula ALSO didn’t get to kill her abuser (thanos) both of the times he died over the course of the film.
gamora:
was never mentioned after being brutal killed by her abuser. instead of allowing closure or redemption for the character (or hey, found a way to bring her back), they brought the gamora from another timeline into the mix.
pepper potts:
sidelined and treated primarily as a love interest
hope:
functioned primarily as a love interest and motivator to the Man (scott mourned her and that was his main reason for trying to save the universe, despite the other loved ones he lost in the snap)
peggy carter:
no lines. exists for the man. treated 10000% as The Love Interest. had all of her character development ( she moved on from steve, became more independent) and her future (she married someone else, probably sousa, had kids, etc etc) completely demolished and erased
but yah. that one scene of #girlpower really made up for this shit right (:

I realize I have barely stopped complaining for four months, but I honestly think that if anything we should be talking even more about how Marvel’s first two phases gave us one female superhero each, the token woman on each of their two teams (nothing so much as a solo movie, don’t be silly, we had to wait ten years for that), and in the culmination of the Infinity Saga, both of those women were thrown off a cliff.
We as audience had to watch them plummet to their deaths. We had to look at their lifeless broken bodies at the bottom of a mystical space ravine. We were supposed to see one of those deaths as something to cheer for in its heroism. We had to accept that an abuser’s claim of love that the recipient denied was still love, and had exactly the same import as the love of a best friend.
We had to see men feel Emotions at the top of those cliffs in the immediate aftermath of these women’s deaths, and then see men with romantic interests react with rage and violence at each loss. We didn’t get to see emotional reactions about the value these women’s lives had held. We had to hear that even when everyone else can be brought back to life, there’s no way someone can ever be freed from the soul stone, and these women were just the necessary casualties of this plot device.
And then they had the audacity to give us that all-women fighting scene, which should have been a rousing moment for those of us who are invested in female characters, but instead rang fundamentally hollow, when Natasha wasn’t there and the Gamora who was there wasn’t the one we had followed through multiple movies of growth. That scene told us that all women are interchangeable, and now that we have enough OTHER women the two we started with aren’t necessary and their absence doesn’t even need to be acknowledged within the scene.
Of course neither character is missing from the future of the MCU; Civil War-era Natasha will be in the Black Widow prequel movie and pre-GOTG1 Gamora will be in GOTG3. But the characters the audience has formed attachments to are permanently gone. They didn’t get to say goodbye to people they cared about. If they were mourned, we didn’t get to see it.
I get that it’s a movie. I get that it came out over four months ago. But we should absolutely still be angry. They both deserved better.

When I woke up, I saw her face. It just came at me. But, like, the second it did, I knew it was right. It was like this this weight got got lifted off my shoulders, you know? For both of us, you know? She knew it was right.
