Little experiment (because I know your child is akin in age to my bonus boys) Does she know what a Hatch/Hatchback is versus everything being a “trunk”? Because you would have thought I asked them to get things off the moon for all they understood what a hatch was.

This is not only reflective of how absolutely violence against women is made “acceptable” but also woven into stories where it is clearly teaching implicitly (or explicitly) that women welding power will be taught a lesson.

F-all that - Emma rocks as an inspiration. Read Emma and Edith instead.

Why? I can’t think of a single reason beyond - Emma was the single strongest woman in the show (also in history at the time) In reality she was exiled, but not good enough - instead we had to have the ultimate punishment for a woman with immense power for her time. 2/2 (One more)
