I know that Korra is probably going to work out her issues through a life-changing field trip with Toph, but what if she met Azula instead.

Azula who was also recognized as a bending prodigy from a young age.  Azula who was raised to believe she was the most important girl in the world.  Azula who broke.  Azula who discovered that the world didn’t need her after all. 

IDK, to me it would make a lot more thematic sense.

This is all i want now!

By using words such as “girly” or “manly” we inadvertently buy into gender stereotyping. We play with toys designed for our gender, we play different sports based on gender, we often go to segregated schools…

If we want equality, it will take more effort than paying women the same as men, or giving women equal opportunities. We must all make an active decision to change our language. We must stop pressuring each other to fit stereotypes which more often than not leaves us feeling repressed and unable to express ourselves. We must not let gender define us.

Three decades earlier, Susan Sontag spoke beautifully to this limiting power of gender stereotypes

And men go abroad to admire the heights of mountains, the mighty waves of the sea, the broad tides of rivers, the compass of the ocean, and the circuits of the stars, yet pass over the mystery of themselves without a thought.
