cartersharon:

When you were younger, which superheroes did you want to meet, or kiss, or to be?

Why do interviewers ask women questions like this?

Well, because those are the only roles women get to have. Isn’t that so sad? That of course she wanted to be a superhero? And the only room the MCU had for her was kissing one, not being one. Oh, sure, she got to kick Bucky in the head, but that’s all she gets. I’m not super set against Steve/Sharon, but I’m super bitter that’s all she gets. In that context, it’s actually a pretty poignant question for the interviewer to ask.

They actually threw in "or be" as an option; colour me surprised.
