When movies show a traditional gender roles world (like, historically or culturally), and then the women rise up and Do Feminism, I just don't buy it. I was raised in a super traditional gender roles world and I didn't see a single woman around me Doing Feminism.

Media like that makes me feel less alone and my experiences more understood. And, maybe more importantly, it's still accessible to the woman still in those highly traditional communities, who don't even have a section of their understanding of reality for Doing Feminism at all.

Surely a lot of these narratives target the fact someone likes to be the first to 'gain consciousness' & realise how sexist/awful the surrounding society is? I grew up in a conservative Christian household & as a teenager related to these narratives (though not my peers)
-
More just wondering whether these narratives exist to make (mainly teenage) women living within those worlds (who know they will inevitably be able to leave via work/college) a way to channel their angst to tide them over?
