There's definitely nothing wrong with "female character stands up to misogyny" stories and they can be really empowering but I personally would love to see more SFF, especially high fantasy, where misogyny just doesn't exist and never did.
There's something really refreshing about seeing women having agency and kicking ass and there never being any question by anyone that they could. I wish there was more of that

JJK and Toge are perfection. I rest my case.
lotta people I know, especially neurodivergent ppl with special interests, express fear that they're a "know it all" or a "snob."
If that sounds like you, allow me to clear things up for ya:
A know-it-all loves making others feel inferior with their knowledge. They worked hard to learn something, and now they find great joy in holding it over others' heads.
To a know-it-all, there is no greater pleasure than realizing someone else doesn't know something, and subsequently humiliating that person for their ignorance on a topic.
Snobs and know-it-alls live for that "gotcha" moment, when they get to embarrass a person and lord their knowledge over someone, making them feel worthless for even daring to speak about something they don't know much about.
Whereas someone who just knows a lot revels in getting to share their knowledge with others. The infodump is not to brag, taunt, or embarrass. In fact, just the opposite, we info dump with the goal to engage others in something we love.
When we correct someone, it's because the information we have is important to us, and we want the facts known by everyone possible. Our goal is never to humiliate.
Above all, a know-it-all and a snob will never admit when they are wrong. They will double down and rage against the notion that someone else might know more than they do about a topic.
Someone who admits they are mistaken, that they don't have all the facts, even if it takes them a day to come back embarrassed and say "you know what, yesterday you were right, and I wasn't,"
Can never be a know-it-all or a snob.
Keep learning, keep teaching, keep sharing.
If you spread what you know with honest joy, passion, and the understanding that other people have something valuable to add, you cannot be and are not a snob, and the world is better for your passion!
