I just wish they weren't so often...perfect

(Anonymous) 2015-04-22 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a bit different. I can read het, but only when the woman is the main character or a more prominent character than her partner. Because I find that otherwise there's a HUGE tendency to write her as "perfect" -- to give her a few superficial flaws but instead have her be a huge wish fulfillment character of "the perfect girlfriend" -- beautiful, smart, badass, desired by everyone.

And I just don't identify with that at all.

For example, it really helped me to ship Steve/Peggy a lot more hardcore once I started watching Agent Carter and Peggy was more in focus.

That's my problem. I can't relate to perfect characters, and female characters are rarely allowed to be flawed the way male characters are - like you said their flaws ten to be superficial ones, either because people hate flawed female characters or they're afraid to give them any.

I know that feel. It's even more obvious when the guy has some glaring flaws, but she doesn't. Ngh.
