Nakia and Okoye are allowed to be the full expressions of themselves, as women pursuing their passions while determining how their lives will unfold.


“Black Panther” offers a refreshing reprieve from the misogynistic media with which we are regularly bombarded by showcasing empowered women that are inspiring because of their contributions to their country and the way they show up in their own lives. Women who know that love does not keep you from your life purpose, romance does not come before your personal values and you are a better partner when you are in purposeful pursuit of your calling.”

The women of ‘Black Panther’ are empowered not just in politics and war, but also in love.

Watsonian response: Ocean’s 8 has a smaller cast than Ocean’s 11 because they’re pulling a different heist that requires fewer people.

Doylist response: Ocean’s 8 has a smaller cast than Ocean’s 11 to differentiate the movies from each other.

Critical Feminist response: Ocean’s 8 has a smaller cast because they couldn’t think of eleven different jobs women could do.

The Truth: Ocean’s 8 is true to life because women have to pull off the same shit as men with 70% of the resources.
