What scene in a movie/TV show made you feel proud to be a woman?

1. Not any really…. Do men ever feel genuine pride for being a man when watching a movie? Like “wow Iron Man sure did save those citizens, I’m so proud to share genitals with him!”.

2. The scene in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where Hermione Granger punched Draco Malfoy. While Draco didn’t say anything sexist, he was still slinging insults and slurs (the slur being mudblood, which is a term for a muggle who was chosen to attend Hogwarts), he definitely deserved to be punched and Hermione wasn’t going to let what he said affect her. Of course she actually punched him for bragging about getting Hagrid in trouble with the Ministry but still, Hermione still stood up for herself and her friends.

3. Anything and everything the Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner) ever did in that TV show.

4. “I am no man.”

   *stabs Ringwraith in the face*

5. All of Little Women (2019). The sisters each stood their ground on their values, while acknowledging each of their own vulnerabilities as women and as individuals.

   Greta Gerwig did a fantastic job with this movie.

6. The house bunny. I love women

7. [removed]

8. Erin Brockovich. Especially when she got that bonus check!

9. The scene in the movie 9 to 5 where Dolly Parton’s character gets fed up with her boss and tells him she’s willing to change him from a “rooster to a hen in one shot”…I love that!

10. Most of mine star Angela Bassett.

11. Voyager – Star Trek. All of it

12. When Arwen called upon those magic water horses to repel the ringwraiths. Forgive me for not knowing what they’re called, but man that was such an impressionable scene. I was a kid when LOTR came out and it was the first time I realized women can be powerful too. I hope that’s not a silly answer.
