saw someone say that “Superman is who you want to be, while Supergirl is who you actually are when life gets tough but you keep trying anyway” and i think that's really beautiful
if the same men that praised Superman for being "a good role model of positive masculinity for men" hate on Supergirl for also opposing an oppressive system, it's gonna show you how some men only admires him for his masculinity and powers and not his ideals.
