On the Road to Becoming the Rose-Petald Warrior
This assignment I have set myself has many layers to the purpose or why of doing it. This idea came to me during my Masters course and alos, the desire to overhaul my life. As a lover of action, comic and blockbuster films, and the lack of relatable women action heroes, I wondered if I could do and prove that an average, working class woman like myself could become a hero. Of course, there is more to being a hero than looking the part and no longer having self-destructive tendencies, but I think ultimately the goal was to building the strongest self-respect and confidence, and authenticity that in when I campaign an defend for feminist and human rights, their attempt to discredit and destroy my character, which is the main and common weapon of the patriarchal and capitalist system, that my mental health is so resilient I will cheesily reply in the wise words of Captain America, "I can do this all day."
