A ‘strong female character’

drshebloggo:

DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN

• a character who is physically strong
• a character who is mentally strong
• a character who is emotionally strong

ABSOLUTELY MEANS

• a character who makes her own choices, even if they’re mistakes
• a character whose point of view is explored at least briefly
• a character who is the hero of her own story whether she knows it or not

And that’s just a strong character, really.

at monash university in melbourne the women’s department had a bake sale and cupcakes were one dollar for men and eighty cents for women and seventy cents for trans* people to represent the wage gap and heaps of guys kicked off about it being sexist and that’s how i finally understood how hypocritical and ignorant men’s rights activism is 

to be fair that is pretty darn sexist… why cant stuff just be EQUAL for everyone?
