And this is likely because (many) lazy male writers think women are there to further the man's "growth" (not as their own characters).

It's a shitty trope and too many women end up internalizing it: they are only here for the men, and to help them "grow." fuck that. (It makes me really angry because I think I internalized wayyyy too much of that when I was young! From church, culture, every fucking area...

*points* this. I feel like a lot of people miss the point about why tropes in media MATTER. It's because children and teens INTERNALIZE that shit and then when they grow up, they LIVE it when they don't have to and often don't want to but feel obligated too. This leads to women and people who are AFAB feeling trapped and a culture of men who doing develop as emotionally mature humans on their own. It damages literally everyone but people shrug it off because its "just a story." No shit. Stories are the bedrock of civilization. Even when we were in caves, stories told us HOW to live. So they still MATTER.
