#pro women being bitter and cruel and destructive

Nesta Archeron had the potential to be a great character. Like she was one of the few who I related to the most, she was real and deep and didn’t take The Night Court’s bs, she was wary and cautious, not easily trusting people like Feyre.

She had the potential to be this morally grey character but instead that wen out the window like a lot of things in this series.

I was more interested in her than Feyre/Feysand. Nesta and Cassian had the potential to be a great couple but there was an issue with both of them. They both each other on such a high pedestal like they kept saying they didn’t deserve each other idk if that’s healthy or not, your partners should be your equal.

agreeing in everything said above

personally? the lack of morally grey women in fiction disconcerts me. we have so many morally grey men, who are allowed to be bitter and mean and harsh and who can lash out in anger, who can live their lives motivated by revenge at least for awhile. who can look at the world and wish to destroy it. and they’re generally perceived as badass and admirable and a fan favorite.

and then when a woman is anything close to that, she is instantly classified as a b*tch and there’s suddenly thousands of posts about how she should’ve treated this character or that character better. how she should’ve been softer, more demure, quieter, muted. how she should’ve faded in the background like women have done for centuries to make space for men.

it’s as if we have developed this bad habit of telling women how to be and what to do, while silently letting men do whatever they want. 🙂🙂🙂

(i won’t even mention the complete lack of non-binary and transgender inclusivity because that’s yet another issue and we’d be here all day.)

a morally grey man is called an anti-hero.

a morally grey woman is called a b*tch who should sit down and shut up.

let that sink in.
