“…" Kutipan movie review di atas, dapat diketahui jika peserta ini mampu mengidentifikasi isu gender berupa gender stereotypes dimana biasanya karakter superhero identik dengan pria (Rauch, 2012). Dari film Captain Marvel (2019), peserta menyadari bahwa wanita juga dapat menjadi superhero dan menjadi seorang pemimpin yang lekat kaitannya dengan peran seorang pria (Brown, Diekman, & Schneider, 2011).…”

Permasalahan mengenai isu gender sudah mulai mendapatkan perhatian dan seringkali menjadi bahan perbincangan. Namun begitu, kesadaran masyarakat akan kesetaraan gender masih cukup rendah sehingga perlu dicanangkan kegiatan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan kepedulian akan permasalahan gender kepada masyarakat luas. Kegiatan semacam itu seharusnya bukan saja menargetkan orang dewasa, tetapi juga para remaja karena hal ini akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap pola pikir mereka saat dewasa. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman kesadaran gender dan perilaku kesetaraan gender pada siswa SMA di kota. Para siswa SMAN 5 Purwokerto yang tergabung dalam English Conversation Club (ECC) dipilih sebagai target sasaran kegiatan. Media film juga digunakan dalam kegiatan ini untuk memudahkan pemahaman para peserta. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini dilaksanakan secara terstruktur dan sistematis, dimulai dari survey terhadap pihak mitra, identifikasi permasalahan, persiapan program kegiatan, pelaksanaan kegiatan PkM, dan yang terakhir evaluasi jalannya kegiatan. Program PkM ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk kegiatan English Movie Club yang mencakup kegiatan ceramah, menonton film dengan isu gender, berdiskusi mengenai isu gender dalam film, dan membuat movie review pada kurun waktu Maret hingga Juni 2022. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pemahaman para siswa terhadap isu gender. Hal ini dapat diketahui melalui evaluasi kuesioner jawaban para siswa dan hasil dari movie review yang telah mereka kumpulkan. Selain meningkatkan pemahaman isu gender, kegiatan dapat meningkatkan kompetensi menulis dan kepercayaan diri para siswa untuk mempublikasikan karya mereka.These days, gender issues have begun to get attention and are often a subject of discussion. However, public consciousness of gender awareness and gender equality is still quite low. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct activities to increase awareness and concern for gender issues in the wider community. Such activities should target adults and teenagers because it will greatly affect their mindset as adults. Based on that idea, this community service activity aims to increase understanding of gender awareness and gender equality behaviour in high school students. The students of SMAN 5 Purwokerto who are members of the English Conversation Club (ECC) extracurricular were chosen as the target of the activity. Film media was also used in this activity to facilitate providing understanding to the participants. Furthermore, the method used in this activity was structured and systematic, starting from a partner survey, identification of problems, preparation of activity programs, implementation of PkM activities, and evaluation of the course of activities. This PkM program is carried out in the form of English Movie Club activities which include lectures, watching films with gender issues, and making movie reviews starting from March to June 2022. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in students' understanding of gender issues. This can be known by evaluating the students' answers to the questionnaire and the results of their movie reviews. In addition to increasing understanding of gender issues, activities can increase students' writing competence and boost their confidence to publish their work.

“…Signorielli (2011) summarised the findings of large-scale research on the representation of gender in fall prime time broadcasting between 2000 and 2008, whereas Baker and Raney (2007) studied female and male superheroes in children's cartoons that were aired in . McGrath (2007, on the other hand, analysed how gender and race were represented in two comic book series, while Rauch (2012) conducted a content analysis of 120 superhero movies between 1966 and 2009. Each and every one of these authors illustrate that female superheroes were, in most cases, expected to be emotional, attractive, and concerned about their personal appearance.…”

“…Ostensibly, this distinguishes Supergirl from earlier examples of superhero fiction, which studies deconstructed as rife with patriarchal and sexist discourses (Sadri, 2014;Kaplan et al, 2016;Ameter, 2019). Where the dominant narrative used to portray men as protectors, heroes, and active agents at the expense of womenmostly nudged into the role of the supportive bystander, vulnerable victim, or passive object, thereby undermining women's agency to act and protect themselves (Robbins, 1996;Rauch, 2012), Supergirl presents itself as an altogether different case.…”

Since the new millennium, there has been a remarkable increase in audio-visual adaptations of superhero comic books (Garcia-Escriva, 2018). Whereas these adaptations used to include predominantly male superheroes, they have started to feature more female superheroes (Curtis & Cardo, 2018). An increase, however, does not imply diverse and rounded representations, since women in superhero movies tend to be depicted in stereotypical and sexualized ways (Kaplan, Miller & Rauch, 2016). Even though previous research has addressed the films and series' politics of gender representation, there is a need for research that looks at televised female superheroes from a queer postfeminist and intersectional lens. Therefore, this study conducted a textual analysis, informed by queer postfeminist and intersectional theory, to explore how leading female superheroes in the Arrowverse series Arrow and Supergirl are represented. We concluded that female superheroes who assume a central role in the series are represented in a rather empowered manner, but that there are still improvements possible with regard to the representation of race and sexuality.
