a decade later and the way people talk about fictional women and girls is very. Fucked. The only way they’re compelling to most is 1) she girl bosses in a way that doesn’t obstruct their male faves 2) her motivations aren’t male centric (which, hard agree) but then they dismiss her complexities in the same breath BECAUSE all they focus on is her connections to men. there’s definitely a double standard bc men can obsess over men and not be questioned lmao
