(However this in no way means that I think feminist media criticism is wrong, or should be avoided!) Mostly I just over think everything.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019ve thought about this a lot and I think the answer is MORE, and MORE DIVERSE female characters.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re used to having one or two female characters in a cast of mostly men, and hold them to a higher standard because of that. So all of feminism is resting on the shoulders of one female character &#8211; and that DOESN\u2019T WORK. Because there isn\u2019t one right way to be a woman.<\/p>\n<p>If casts had more diversity of gender, we could have warrior women and non-warrior women, sexual women and non-sexual women, feminine and non-feminine, and mixtures of all of the above\u2026all are completely legitimate ways to be a woman.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re used to seeing a lot of hypersexualized, scantily clad, one-dimensional stereotypes of women without stories or motives of their own. We respond by asking for characters that AREN\u2019T THAT, but we may end up pushing too far in the opposite direction, and demonize traits like sexuality, conventional attractiveness, and traditional femininity as \u201csexist.\u201d That\u2019s why the most popular female characters are the ones that are most similar to male heroes &#8211; the Arya Starks &#8211; emotionally distant, unattached, solve their problems with violence, not remotely sexual. That\u2019s fine too of course. I love Arya. It\u2019s just not\u2026the only way to be.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I also think there is a huge difference between a sexual woman. And a woman as a sexual object.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Does this character enjoy expressing their own sexuality and makes their decisions based on their own desires? COOL!<\/p>\n<p>Is this character more of a prop whose sexuality exists solely for the enjoyment of others( or the reader)? Icky.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>inflatedmoose: gingerhaze: feminspire: alyssakorea: Tumbling over the past year and a half has made me see the problems of gender roles that exist in media, but sometimes it gets to the point where I over analyze every single piece of television or film that I come across.
