These are the things that annoy me too. Well done, OP.

Seriously, is it so hard for fic writers to imagine that teenage boys are just as silly as teenage girls, if not more so? I'm imagining the writers who do this are usually female by other clues they leave as well. What does that say about their own sense of self-worth as women, and why would I want to read that kind of fic?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes! It throws me every time, because they have these male characters thinking of their actions or thoughts with such disparagement, and dissing teenaged girls in the same breath. And since these are my favorite characters, I hardly want to think of them as sexist jerks, so. I fix each variant I come across. :)

Well, to play Devil's Advocate, it may not have anything to do with the author's sense of self-worth and a lot to do with how the character being written usually behaves in canon. Some characters in media make casually sexist remarks all the time. It wouldn't be strange for a character who exhibits excessive machismo in canon to disparage teenage girls; that in itself could be played straight or challenged in a fic, but first and foremost, it must be in-character.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

True. Except the characters I'm substituting for don't (in canon) make blatant sexist comments or disparaging remarks about teenage girls. So, for my fandoms this is coming from the writers. And...the phrase happens way too often. It's a cliche. It's a lazy, misogynistic, annoying cliche.

If you read fanfiction, you will see it everywhere now like a blue MINI Cooper. I'm sorry. :)
