I think Black Widow is an exception at this point. While she has unfortunately not been given her own movie yet - which I think they’d screw up anyways by just diving into her past and showing how scarred she was by it - she is treated basically as an equal in both Winter Soldier and Civil War.

Absolutely. I will gladly pay more in taxes if it gives everyone healthcare insurance and a basic income.

Dead man switch, the train will emergency brake the moment he lets go of that switch. There is no controlling the train once derailed. For all intents and purposes, leaving the cabin did not in anyway worsen the situation, just as staying would not have improved the situation. So running into the pax cabin probably…
