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.

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).

It seems different to me when a protagonist is female, *and* the story explore how their being female fits into their world, *and* said womanhood isn't used in a one dimension zero-sum game.

Did you watch RBG? That one made me feel woman-pride despite not being a woman, which was actually kind of awesome.
