101. I just wish people would stop trying to write women as damsels or militiant feminists. Everybody, regardless of gender, can be weak or strong, somewhere in between. For example, a friend of mine is usually seen as a wet blanket or a doormat and tends to get herself wound up over boys, but whenever I'm in trouble, or I need help, she stands up and starts kicking ass. :) There isn't any such as thing as uke or seme genes in people, yanno.

Irrelevent, but I love Wicked C:

129. Man I'm glad I'm not the only one who always wonder about that

150. Yes yes because books are superior to any other artform. This from a chick who has like fifty gazillion books in her house and is most likely a bibliophile

158. Oh my god that's adorable. I hope you find them again

"Militant feminists?"

By that I mean feminists that go way over the top, constantly insisting that every woman should have no signs of weakness at all, contact with men should be scolded blahblahblah

I wasn't saying that all strong women in fiction are like that, I was just using it as an example on how it always seems to be either one extreme or the other.

By that I mean feminists that go way over the top, constantly insisting that every woman should have no signs of weakness at all, contact with men should be scolded blahblahblah

Because there are so many of those in fiction (or reality) and they're always held up to be strong and wonderful!

Well the point I'm trying (and failing, apparently) to get at is that I don't think every female character needs to be written as What A Woman Should Be, they should be just written as human beings.

I wish you'd said this from the start because WORD.

Who are these feminists? Seriously, I'd love the names of characters who act like this.

Those mentally cloistered twatwaffles who think having a door held open for them is a purposefully malicious sign of oppression. And other self-victimizing bullshit.

Oh right okay. I forgot how many of those are female protagonists in fiction who are lauded as feminist heroes by the rest of the world.

o_O

What an angry individual you are.

We call those "straw feminists," anon. Because while they do exist in real life, there are a whole lot more of them in fiction, usually held up as an example of why feminism is uncool and makes women unattractive.

ILU IN A NON-STRAW FEMINIST WAY.

Thank you.

Feminist myths used to discount the ideals of feminism for the lose.

Yes. As in, a certain kind of feminist, as evidenced by the adjective modifying the noun.

Oh you mean that kind that everybody chooses to dwell on despite their being a slim minority who are mostly mocked by the rest of the feminist community? Ok.

Yup, those are definitely the ones.

I just wish people would stop trying to write women as damsels or militiant feminists.

What about this statement infers that all feminists are militant feminists? It's a truth that they exist, so what's wrong with acknowledging that? Obviously "damsels" is a stereotype as well, so the point being made is that there's two radical stereotypes of women that get retreaded over and over.

Also, you try too fucking hard.

You're an idiot.

*sigh*

101. Note that not ALL feminists are like that. In fact, I've known several that are reluctant to say they're feminists since they think they'll be branded as these.

Maybe you could've typed "feminist carticature" or "feminist stereotype", to make clear that real-life feminism isn't that way?

I thought that was what she meant by "militant feminist" -- unless "militant" is supposed to be a positive trait or something.

"Militant" would only mean that they stick strictly and unwaveringly to the ideals of feminism (the real ideals, not the man-hating ones people make up in order to discredit feminism), which there would be nothing wrong with.

mil·i·tant

1 : engaged in warfare or combat : fighting 2 : aggressively active (as in a cause) : combative

I don't think having a combative attitude is conducive to establishing gender equality, rather it makes people go on the defensive and is counter productive. Also, militant feminism has been shown to either not have much of an effect or cause a backlash effect. ()

I don't think militant is a positive trait either, but whatevs.

'Yes yes because books are superior to any other artform.'

I know one thing for sure.
Books are superior to most anime.
And this is coming from a person who LIKES anime.

Gosh, how dare the OP wish people would read more. How dare they. What a bad, awful person.
