Posted by When it comes to fictional women, I prefer this quote;
"Screw writing “strong” women. Write interesting women. Write well-rounded women. Write complicated women. Write a woman who kicks ass, write a woman who cowers in a corner. Write a woman who’s desperate for a husband. Write a woman who doesn’t need a man. Write women who cry, women who rant, women who are shy, women who don’t take no kitten, women who need validation and women who don’t care what anybody thinks. THEY ARE ALL OKAY, and all those things could exist in THE SAME WOMAN. Women shouldn’t be valued because we are strong, or kick-ass, but because we are people. So don’t focus on writing characters who are strong. Write characters who are people."
I've heard that the show Orange Is the New Black is feministic show which empowers women. I haven't watched it, but I plan to.
That's one of my favorite quotes!
Orange is the New Black is amazing not only for the interesting well written female characters and relationships (and the plot too) but the diversity of all women such as women of color, queer women and trans women. And it's also really funny.
And "not all men" bingo seems to be very accurate for this thread unfortunately smh
