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.

Interesting. Did you find that you had any initial mental pushback, internal or otherwise (ie defending cultural norms you had been raised with) or were you immediately empowered?

I brought a lot of old-school stuff with me for years. I was insecure about my womanhood and felt like I had to prove that I was worthy of respect despite my gender. I also had very little sympathy for other women who weren't 'strong enough'.
