stormcloaked:

let me just say this. When you say you like a woman because she is a “strong female character,” you need to take a step back and look at this character. To you believe she’s a “strong, female character” because she’s existing in a role that has inherent male traits? Are you applauding her because she is, in effect, taking over a man’s role and adapting a masculine agency?

And then do you dislike a character that you claim is “weak” because she exists within confined feminine gender roles?

If so.

You are doing it wrong.

#fuck off fandom #fandom hated caroline forbes until she got physical strength #and was beaten and cowed and tortured and abused into p much never expressing herself unless it was about someone else’s wellbeing #oh she also got a few throwaway lines about scarlett o’hara

WORD.

Also, people saying that Martha Jones doesn’t count as a “strong female character” because she had feelings for the Doctor. Nope, you are wrong.
