Whether you’re a feminist or a fangirl or you just like to learn, these six “Tropes vs Women” episodes of Feminist Frequency are absolutely fascinating. Host Anita Sarkeesian makes sure you’ll never look at entertainment the same way. 

Watch:

• The Manic Pixie Dream Girl
• Women in Refrigerators
• The Smurfette Principle
• The Evil Demon Seductress
• The Mystical Pregnancy
• The Straw Feminist

Thanks!

Unpopular Opinion time?

I actually wanted to scream watching these videos they pissed me off so much :/ I kept asking “Why should I even give a fuck” Because I quite honestly either I like these ‘cliche’d’ tropes, or I didn’t even think they were bad or noticeable to begin with. The fact that this lady is trying to make it oppressive or sexist to women is really going out on a limb, because seriously, I find nothing wrong with the archetypes, and wouldn’t have even considered wanting it differently- I don’t give that much of a fuck. I couldn’t watch these videos all the way through, and I’m only halfway through, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to be shaking my head and wincing at the rest.

Idk, maybe I hate women and I’m a shitty writer

I certainly don’t think you’re either a shitty writer or a misogynist, dear. Honestly, I only felt that way about 1-2 of them at best, but also only strongly agreed with 1-2 of them as well, particularly the straw feminist.

I felt this woman was a bit harsher and read a bit too much into it, but also held many relevant points that as a writer I want to be aware of.

Of course, I tend to have very mild opinons, so take that how you will.
