ericadawn16Everyone kept talking about Wonder Woman in this revolutionary way, how it made them cry.
I felt left out a little.
It was cool to see her kick ass but it also felt...normal, how things should be.
I thought maybe it was how my generation was raised. We had Ripley, She-Ra, Dana Scully, Buffy, Kim Possible, Mulan and countless others showing us how strong women were normal...
But some of those crying women WERE my age so...
It was something else and then, I realized I already had my "Wonder Woman Moment". It was when, for the first time in my life, I saw a woman in a live action Star Wars film take up a lightsaber and defeat the male patriarchy with it.
It was pretty freaking sweet.
