God I love this moment.
Because this? This is what men do. Even today, they don’t see women; they see some version of her that speaks to their own masculinity. That part of a girl that makes them feel strong and powerful and righteous in one way or another.
None of them bothered to see who Peggy Carter really is because none of them cared. All they cared about is how she made them look to the outside world, how their actions towards her made them feel about themselves. The Father, The Knight, The Nice Guy.
And here my girl is, calling them all out on it. Here she is saying, if you actually saw me as a person, you would’ve seen what I was doing. You would’ve known. Don’t blame me for not being able to see past your ego.
Peggy Carter has never and will never put up with this misogynistic bullshit and I am HERE for it.
This scene is iconic.
