Generally, I don't resonate with identity in media - race/sex doesn't matter as long as it's a good story. But I did feel this for the first time watching Wonder Woman. The movie wasn't even all that great but I felt weird secondhand pride cause the protagonist was female.

To clarify, I said WW was the first time, but I think it was first time I felt it that consciously. The Firefly and ST gave me feelings which in hindsight I'm identifying as the female pride thing.

If you compare Diana and, say, Inara to Elaine Ripley and Sarah Conner, they are largely genderless roles in terms of characterisation (I know Sarah had to be female because "mum", but hopefully you get what I mean).

The thing to consider is that hyper-feminism has reasonable origins, which were in individuality. In our liberal society, we don't want to think our sex (or race, nationality, etc) limits us. Many feminists went overboard in trying to prove this.

I wish more people would be mindful of this, instead of reflexively reacting to feminism or anti-feminism.
