I'm pretty sure this is due to sheer laziness on the writers' part, because those story lines almost always occur five (or so) seasons in, when they're struggling for more personal drama, but they've set up a career driven woman.

Tropes are always lazy writing. They're not some super evil form of mass socialization as people make them out to be.

[(Anonymous)]

Wrong. That's like saying bread sucks because it contains flour. It's how they're used not the use themselves that constitutes lazy writing.

[(Anonymous)]

*bread is lazy baking

[(Anonymous)]

How they're used?

[(Anonymous)]

How the tropes are used as part of the greater story and work as whole matter much more than their use. Like a story can have a cold aloof female character who gets friendlier later on and that's not inherently lazy because that's the DEFROSTING ICE QUEEN trope1!1!! Ideas being original doesn't make them good necessarily.

[(Anonymous)]

My point was that they're MORE a sign of laziness THAN some super evil form of mass socialization.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I mean, that's the case with a lot of offensive things. Doesn't mean they can't still be hurtful.

[(Anonymous)]

And hurt people will whine, yes. That's life.

[(Anonymous)]

And others will whine about the whining?

[(Anonymous)]

It's almost like negativity breeds negativity or something.

This is lazy thinking. Tropes can* be lazy writing and socialization. It doesn't have to be some intentional conspiracy in order for it to reflect (and reinforce) cultural beliefs like "women who don't want kids will just change their minds later." Your own socialization affects what you'll reach for when you're being lazy.

* Sometimes tropes aren't lazy writing anyway. Not all trope use is bad! So complicated, it is.
