Scene/tweet has a lot of positive feedback (and like 40k likes). Thoughts? On one hand I see the logic in his statement but on the other hand its like I never thought of gender equality to be so..literal? Like, does acknowledging the current lack of a status quo mean you don't believe gender equality to be worth working towards? Scene feels clunky, though I do like unabashed mentions of feminism in media (a far cry from older examples in cartoons)

The most recent episode, which aired on Cartoon Network over the weekend, was called ”Eggman's Anti Gravity Ray." In one particular scene, Amy Rose gives herself a little pep talk before taking a penalty kick in a pickup soccer game.
”Can the young woman break the glass ceiling," Amy says, ”and prove once and for all that a female can be just as good an athlete as a male?"
Knuckles looks on, arms crossed, and gives her a pep talk of his own.
”You know, Amy," chides the burly echidna, ”anytime someone calls attention to the breaking of gender roles, it ultimately undermines the concept of gender equality by implying that this is an exception and not the status quo."
