I've noticed this trend in fiction recently where the main character will be set up as a girl-power-feminist who doesn't need a man and can protect herself, but then as I go farther on in the book it's actually revealed that the entire theme is about reinforcing the gender binary and bioessentialism.
Like in the book I'm reading right now, the main character is learning how to fight (wohoo, you go girl) but THEN she is told that since she is a woman she is not allowed to learn the same fighting style as the men. Because she is SOOOO MUCH WEAKER then the men, she has to learn a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT fighting style that will compensate for her weakness. And there is absolutely no push back against this idea.
What happened to the idea of 'girls can do anything guys can do'? Why is it now 'yes you can learn to fight like boys, but also remember that no matter what you do, you will be inferior to them'??? I fucking hate when media tries to insist that women are weaker then men because it's objectively not true??? I know women who can bench 300 pounds, and I know men who will struggle to carry a bag of dog food to their car. Why are we fucking doing this? I am so sick of this

It’s so annoying that most books that are supposed to be feminist and pro-women actually end up reinforcing the gender binary and bioessentialism. Like in the book I’m reading right now, the main character is learning how to fight, except she has to learn a different style of fighting from the men because women are soooooo much weaker then men that means she can’t even learn a similar fighting style. How is this supposed to be a feminist take.

Now Velma's talking about how she routinely 'hates herself' for liking Shaggy because he's always doing 'stupid stuff' and the 'stupid stuff' he's doing is hanging out with Scooby and eating big sandwiches????? Girl what are you even talking about. Why are you with him if you don't even like the basic core aspects of his personality. Why are they making her so toxic.
So I'm watching Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated and I am confused and disturbed by the decision to portray Velma as an abusive girlfriend right out of the gate. I'm only four or five episodes in and Velma is already telling Shaggy what he can and can't eat, can and can't wear, who he can and can't spend his time with, and she doesn't like how he talks so she makes him wear a rubber band that she snaps harder and harder every time he says the word 'like'. She's literally being physically and emotionally abusive to Shaggy. What...what is the point of portraying Velma in this way? Why is she suddenly a controlling bitch who doesn't like anything about her boyfriend? I don't understand why the writers thought that this was a good character arc and journey to explore with her???? What is going on.

okay now that we’ve a had couple lesbian blockbusters and milfs are having a romance moment, we need to bring back the manic pixie dream girl. she was never fuckin suited to fixing all the problems of some boring twenty year old everyman, but you know who could actually benefit from a quirky free-spirited blue haired girl with pronouns (she/they)? a newly divorced forty-something mom who’s trying to learn how to be herself for the first time in her life
