I'm sorry, I don't think I was very clear about that last part. He seemed dismissive of Natasha's right to make that choice, which is what I viewed as anti-feminist. If he'd said it in a way that implied 'I want you to make a choice with all the details', that would be different. Even feeling like it would likely be a deal-breaker would be understandable, and I empathize with that. It's how he phrased it that bothered me, not the idea itself.

As for the rest... I do understand that, but I feel an action movie is perhaps not the best place to explore that. I also don't like the implication that men are allowed to want a family, but that it's unfeminist for a woman to want the same. Every other character besides Hill, and possibly Fury, is either in a relationship or wants one. Even the doctor. But Natasha's the only one that's weak for it? Oh, and the twins. They're not looking for love. They do have a family, though, so the same thing sort of applies.

Fair enough, really.

I also don't like the implication that men are allowed to want a family, but that it's unfeminist for a woman to want the same.

I profoundly agree with this statement & apologize if I implied anything else.

No, you didn't. I was simply clarifying my own position there. It's my main argument against people describing Natasha as anti-feminist. I understand the weighting, I do, but... That's just a little too far, and I get rant-y sometimes.
