Captain Marvel's reference to being too emotional is a specific feminist shibboleth (https://geekfeminism.fandom.com/wiki/You%27re_being_emotiona https://geekfeminism.fandom.com/wiki/You%27re_being_emotiona...), which is "not explicitly a gender thing" only because that's how shibboleths work. It's absolutely a gender thing, if not explicitly one.
- spywaregorilla 5y agoIt's both, of course. Being too emotional is clearly a common female stereotype. The call of the antagonist is to "fight him like a man", which is a common male stereotype. She dispels the first, but refuses to accept his premise for the latter. I think it's pretty great. It's a generalizeable message to either gender of course.
