Thank you and great to hear you’re starting a channel it’s a great creative outlet.

I’m just you enjoyed it. Thanks!

Thanks. I’ll have to check that out. Maybe a future video essay.

Hi Friend, I didn’t know we were so close. I do completely understand your reading that a Heroine is naturally wronged by an unjust patriarchal system. And I agree those are aspects of the OG goddess mythologies. I don’t agree that they set out to change the system, I’m not sure I can think of a goddess myth that accomplishes that. They most center on getting back what is there’s or are just continuing to be oppressed by the system. But remember, I’m exclusively talking about the narrative being gendered not the character. Every point I make about Harry Potter comes from Carriger’s book that is not my own example. You can reach out to her, she’s very responsive. Thor and Nemo are my own examples. Thor and Harry may use violence but they do not exclusively use violence and violence is means by which the obtain their boon. Now perhaps that introduces a sliding scale or “spectrum” of gendered narratives some leaning more masculine and some more feminine and there’s arguments for and against any narrative because they are all open to interpretation. But thank so much for this comment. I am over the moon to see someone engaging with something I created this thoughtfully. Perhaps there is a greater thesis to pull out of this conversation. I don’t quite see it yet but this is a start…. Of a wonderful friendship. 💙

I think I miss pronounced the authors name multiple times too. But seriously I’m glade you enjoyed enough to watch until the end.
