Freeing the universe from microaggressions.

From The Washington Examiner Extended scene showing Captain Marvel subduing sleazy biker draws groans, mockery:

An extended scene from “Captain Marvel” showing the hero intimidating a male biker has drawn criticism for what some describe as its overly feminist message.

The feminist trope of the kickass gall putting a sleazy biker in his place is an old one, and is loved by both feminists and conservatives.  I was surprised it would cause such a reaction.   But after watching the scene I get it.  First,  this is the nicest “sleazy biker” I’ve ever seen.   He isn’t intimidating,  he’s just cheesy.  Second, Captain Marvel is entirely humorless.  Normally the trope involves a sassy kickass gal, but Captain Marvel comes off like a women’s studies major.  Think Dr. Judith Draper from 3rd Rock From the Sun wearing a pleather jumpsuit.   This all makes for a hilarious scene,  but not in the way that was intended:
