Yada yada, you all already know that I'm funking sick of people wanting to make all heroines the same. Some slut in a catsuit who kicks people in the face and pouts.
It's not an appealing character when it's a man, but now if a woman isn't that way, she's an unappealing heroine and the piece she's in sucks.
A man can be a thinking, weak hero. A man can even be an unattractive or at least modest hero.
But a woman needs to fight, and look like a sex symbol when she does it. And that's to prove you have gender equality.
The Princess Bride was awesome. Princess Buttercup was a good character.

Wait a sec, Buttercup was a bad heroic character for not being pretty enough or a strong fighter or minimally dressed? It's set in ye olde times and Buttercup was a Princess ffs!
It's irritating most heroines have to look like bimbos, but some of them have a valid reason and do more than fanservice. They're hard to find, but they do exist! [looks crazy]

"Hi, I'm Rapunzel. I'm a ninja. I learned to fight while trapped in a tower for sixteen years with no trainer. It was funny when Fiona did it because it was ridiculous. But now, combat training is standard with a uterus. Men! Never date a woman who couldn't kill you with her bare hands, she isn't worthy of your love. Because, you know, in real life, that's a very practical skill. Better than all that sexist cooking and sewing. Those have no real-world application."

Have you ever noticed whenever someone tells a girl to "be herself", they either go on to say "a spunky, lively, fun-loving girl who won't take s**t from anyone", whether or not the girl has ever displayed any of those characteristics?
You can be a worthwhile person without being spunky. Boys do it all the time. But if a girl does it she's a giant fake. I like sewing and I don't like sex, I'm going to be alone for the rest of my life.
I mean, I know there's more to life than finding a mate, but all this media saying who I really am is someone who will never be loved is really depressing.
