Re: Common tropes/cliches you hate

[(Anonymous)]

I decided to revisit Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet, and was unpleasantly surprised to see a variant on this: the Faux Female Scientist, in the person of Meg's mother. A microbiologist cooking the family dinner in the lab? Puh-lease.

Re: Common tropes/cliches you hate

I don't think it's the same. I think cooking dinner in a lab is a specific case of the author taking artistic liberties with science, but that happens throughout the books and isn't limited to the mother. Even if you want to limit the case just to the parents: both are scientists, and you'd have a point if the father spent a lot of time doing real, accurate science and being helpful while the mother's job was merely informed to us, but that's not how it is.
