Femininity Has Been Attacked In Fiction For Years Now

The portrayal of female protagonists in fiction is critically examined in this video, focusing on two problematic tropes: the weak "wet lettuce" and the overly masculine "badass chick." While the latter may seem empowering, it often removes femininity and relies on unrealistic physical strength, disempowering male characters in the process. This video argues that this trend suggests femininity is seen as inferior to masculinity. Instead, it advocates for strong, multifaceted female characters who embrace vulnerability and traditionally feminine traits alongside male characters who are both capable and compassionate. Ultimately, the video calls for a more balanced representation of both genders that doesn’t degrade either.
