#feminist bakugou is something we need to talk about more

I think monoma would have been a better rival for deku instead of Bakugou. He has nicer personality , an interesting mentality and could bond with deku as both of them are quirk nerds and were put down in their childhoods .
Oh boy. You are talking to a Monoma stan so get ready for a little bit of a rant. An opinion and as all opinions they are not absolute. This is also anti bakugou. So I put it under a cut. I also put the tags on so whoever doesnt want to read it can just filter this post out.
I personally think that bigger things were planned for Monoma and Class 1B. Let us look at why I think so. As of now the story wants us to believe that Bakugou is the main rival of our main character Izuku. Bakugou gets a bit lets say coddled by the narrative. His personality and actions dont get called out anymore. This wasn't always like this. In the infamous Chapter 1, which as long as it won't get retconned is still part of the backstory, we see the narrative paint Bakugou in a bad light. The character is clearly not meant to be liked. Shown as an antagonist that beats our protagonist down. He doesnt thank him for being rescued and so on. The first day has him attack our protagonist which the narrative also paints in a bad light. And the first Heroics class has him almost murder Midoriya. Do not tell me there was no intent. He was going to murder or end his career before it started if he didnt dodge. In the bus ride to the USJ you have the actual characters call out Bakugous behaviour. Something rare that nowadays just doesnt happen anymore. I think in the beginning Bakugou was supposed to be disliked. To a degree the narrative and characters still called him out. He might have been even further called out. However he gained popularity and either the editors or the author himself decided to change the direction Bakugou went. While his personality stayed similar the narrative around him changed to portray him more positive. Enter Class 1B.
Monoma Neito is one of the first characters we see of the rivaling class of the hero course. Could his Introduction been smoother. Yes. Could he have said different things. Also yes. We also see that Bakugou shows his usual aggressive self that looks down on others. He paints a target on his own classes back and makes them seem arrogant like him. Monoma is an interesting character stat wise.
Tumblr media
His intelligence stat is 5/5. That is quite the high stat. Izuku only has 4/5. Same for Bakugou. We see this intelligence used at the tournament part of the sports festival when he actually makes out what strategy Uraraka is going to use. We also see it later in the joint training arc when he gives his classmates good constructive criticism and works on their strategies. He knows he needs to work with others to make it as a hero. Speaking of the sports festival this is where things are changing. The sports festival is also the big introduction of Class 1B. We finally see them. We see them battle in the cavelery battle and some in the tournament part. Two important parts happen here. In the cavelery battle you have Team Monoma and Team Bakugou fighting. Monoma actually calls Bakugou out for his actions and personality. Does Monoma get a bit too cocky. Yes. Does Bakugou just win and break through a solid air wall like nothing. Also yes. The second part is the Bakugou vs. Uraraka fight. There we see the narrative shift. The problems of female Pro heroes get explored in that fight. A problem that wasn't there before. We have Aizawa call Bakugou great and belittle the audience for an argument they didnt make. The audience asked why Bakugou was playing like that and not just kick her out. They were not worried about her being a girl. In the end Bakugou gets the win and he got painted as Feminist Icon. Even though he personally thought that Izuku gave her the plan. Overall it feels shoehorned in just to make Bakugou look good. Now back to a more nicer topic. The better blonde. Monoma. His personality is certainly something but there is reason for it. We have him call out 1A for outshining his class, have him be loud, have him act "unheroic" in insulting and poking at people. However this all has reason. Monoma grew up having what the BNHA society call a "weak" quirk. Copy. He actually needs the help of others to use his quirk. Otherwise he is basically "Quirkless". He got discouraged from being a hero. It is why he acts more strategic and not always fair. He doesnt have a powerful and flashy quirk. So he needs to think things through more. He is loud but that is probably to be noticed. Because he lacks the "flashy heroic" quirk that is so desired in society. It´s probably one of the reasons he went for Bakugou before. Bakugou with his quirk is privileged in BNHA society. It is flashy. It is "heroic". From a young age he got told that he is great. Monoma didnt have that. He feels inferior. He probably wanted to cut the privileged arrogant sounding Bakugou down a bit. Monoma trash talks his enemies so they get angry and screw up. Give him a way to use their anger against them. We also later learn that his whole rivalry act is well an act. He even calls it an act. Even with a class 1A member there he acts calm and subdued with Eri. He puts it aside to actually help someone. In a real danger situation he would probably work together with anyone from the other class. His confident and loud act is just an act. Deep down he feels inferior. He feels silent and ignored.
Tumblr media
Monoma and Midoriya are similar. Both have an inferiority complex. Midoriya having the stronger one. Both were given up by society. Monoma by the weak quirk. Midoriya for a lack of quirk. Unlike Bakugou who comes from everything Monoma could actually better understand where Izuku is coming from. Again I think he was planned as a main rival. He has smarts to deal with Midoriya. He is from the rival class. Hori based him on a real person. Him and Midoriya while not having the same background could understand another. Monoma understood seemingly where Shinsou is coming from so why not with Midoriya. Monoma also doesnt judge him for an "evil" quirk. So I dont think he would judge Midoriya for his quirklessness. Both have parallels and opposites. Midoriya shows a calm and more silent facade. Monoma shows a more aggressive and loud one. One wants to hide the other wants to be seen. Both are quirk nerds. Monoma out of need. Midoriya out of interest. At the beginning Izuku had a rather imperfect control of OFA. You could call him a discount All Might. Monoma with his quirk and hero costume is a discount All for One. Foreshadowing. Narrative foils. But instead of killing eachother they could have befriended eachother. Heck it would be so easy to hit Monoma with the dad for one stick. Have him actually decide between his father and his friends. Could have been interesting to see. Maybe he didnt know he was related. But sadly we didnt get it. While he could have been also antagonistic to his rival this could change. I could see him actually helping and lifting up Midoriya. I would give them both a more healthy rival relationship. Each trying to get better than the other and growing with eachother. I think one of the reasons we didn't get it was Bakugou himself. The same arc that introduces Monoma also starts a narrative change where Bakugou gets more positive light shined upon him. While Bakugou gets likes from the fandom. Monoma gets hate. Probably for the huge sin of attacking Bakugou. Bakugou got made the main rival while Monoma turned into a joke of a character. Still I would say with more depth than Bakugou. Bakugou got more and more spotlight. He got shoehorned into scenes. And if you give spotlight you also take spotlight from other characters. You might also get more popular and get even more spotlight. Monoma got put on the bench shortly after being introduced. Sadly a good part of the fandom turned Monoma into a hate sink like Mineta. Claiming him to be an abusive bully that attacks and insults anyone. That is a huge pervert. The "Draco Malfoy" of Bnha (They are both blonde. Thats the only common thing they have). While turning Bakugou into a soft understanding boy that is the team mom. I am always happy to read some nice Monoma or Monodeku fics that dont make him an abusive ass. So if anyone wants to send some my way feel free to.

I don’t know if it’s just me... probably not. But I was rewatching Season 2 of BNHA (favorite season by far) and of course was rewatching the sports festival and I just hate what they did to Uraraka.
Not only am I under the impression that Uraraka should have won (her overpowering Bakugou’s brute strength with strategy would be cool as hell), but the way the other characters were presented to make Bakugou look better by comparison irritated me.
Bakugou willing to fight her without holding back is viewed as an honorable thing in comparison to everyone else who didn’t want him to do that because he was fighting a girl. Like that’s not something that deserves applause that’s called basic human decency they’re literally in the same hero course. And it especially rubbed me the wrong way because Iida mentioned something about Bakugou “not using his full strength on a girl”? Which makes no sense for his character. He learned in the first goddamn episode he appears in to not judge others immediately (Izuku and the entrance exam) and he literally has no reason to doubt Uraraka’s abilities? He saw her in action during the Battle Training exercise and knows that she can hold her own. And it’s stated that his mother was also a pro hero (so there is no reason why he should doubt her abilities on the basis of her gender). Could have been better if he was worried Bakugou would take it too far during their fight, as he knows how rough and violent that boy can be when he puts his mind to it (especially when it comes to an actual fight).
Anyway back to the others. Bakugou is presented as a good guy for treating Uraraka as an equal, I get the message, even if it’s a trope that’s been done to death before and is honestly insulting at this point. But it came out of nowhere. There was no mention previously that female pro heroes are viewed as more fragile or face sexism like that in the workplace, so it created a societal problem for that one fight to make Bakugou look better than everyone else. Because we got to make sure that the audience likes him!! Who cares if it makes other characters look bad or act out of character to achieve that!! The fans need their “hot bad boy favorite” to also be a “feminist icon!”
AND THE BEST PART OF THAT CRAP IS THAT BAKUGOU DIDN’T EVEN RESPECT URARAKA’S ABILITIES. Right after their fight he confronted Izuku and accused him of creating the strategy Uraraka used in her fight against him. So the big show of Bakugou being the only one to respect Uraraka’s abilities and view her as an equal wasn’t even true. He couldn’t fathom the possibility she created that strategy by herself and that she must have received help from his abuse victim rival. Because Bakugou must always find a way to blame Midoriya for everything that goes wrong for him or even presents a challenge to him.
Sorry for this rant. But I don’t see enough people talking about the utter crap around Bakugou vs. Uraraka in the Sports Festival. Anyway Uraraka should have won the fight and placed in the top 4 (or 3 technically).
Don’t apologise. You’re right.

Ok so hi I’m back and I’m on my bullshit but imagine this for me if you will.
Ik we all love and adore barbarian king Bakugou but like can we just take a minute and think about plain old prince Bakugou. He’s kinda like prince Eric in the sense that he loves adventure but obviously way more rough around the edges. He also def gives off bastard prince vibes.
And I argue he would be even better than most princes because I don’t care what anyone says. Bakugou Katsuki is a giant feminist. No I won’t be taking criticism. Like he was the only one in mha who didn’t think he should go easy on ururaka just bc she was a girl. He was mad even at the thought.
So now take that information and imagine trying to tell prince Bakugou who to marry. Good luck winning that fight. He could care less if it’s better for the nation. No ones telling him what to do. And if he was up for it he’d probably be like “ok but what about the princess does she want to do this???” And you start to give some half ass “it’s what my father wants” he’s immediately be like “no that’s not what I asked I said what do YOU want”
You do marry him and now all protocol is out the window. Don’t wanna wear a dress??? Ok go for it. Wanna learn how to fight like he does?? Absolutely baby when and where. And if anyone tried to tell him something about how he needs to control his women and make her act proper..... well let’s just say the courts gonna be down one person.
Can you tell I’ve been watching too many Disney movies🥴
you had me hooked since you said prince Eric bc he was my fav Disney prince 🥴
everyone would both love and hate him as a prince!!! he’s strong, he knows how to put his foot down, rule a kingdom. but he....respects women? and doesn’t push them around or use them as breeding holes? he actually talks to his princess (that he chose, no matter how awful her background was) and asks for her opinion when it comes to the kingdom.
he just knows wtf he wants and wtf is right and wrong. period.

He can use the sword if needed
Can he just get a nap????
Because of his relationship with Malleus, seeing fireflies calms him down
Is this guy wholesome? Yes.
Is he a Bisexual top? Also yes.
Can’t make everything wholesome
Holy fuck my fingers hate me. If you managed to read this far, I hope you enjoyed my headcanons for Twisted Wonderland students and houses! I don’t know enough about the teachers to make headcanons for each them, but I do have one for the staff:
Sam and Dire Crowley
Married
This is the only reason Sam runs the school store
Sam is not qualified for anything else
But Dire loves him too much to fire him
Forget the wholesomeness between the Dorm heads and their Vices
This is the most wholesome pair
Okay seriously - I need to stop making these headcanons it’s midnight at my house. I’ve spent probably close to 13 hours (give or take with a lot of breaks) writing these down and doing research on characters just so that my headcanons don’t seem completely out of the blue. Also, don’t be afraid to post your own headcanons, even if canon doesn’t always support them. That’s the thing about fictional characters - they’re open to interpretation!
And now to the long list of tags....

I say the sports festival arc is my favorite but in reality we all know that just means “‘it’s your quirk not his!’/‘it’s your power Todoroki!’ lives in my head rent free” I don’t even necessarily like the other parts that much.
I mean don’t get me wrong the other Midoriya-centric parts? Love those. Him strategizing his way to first place in the first round without ever using his quirk? So fucking cool I’m proud so proud of him. Him in the second round choosing his team, specifically picking some people and having some people come to him and then figuring out the most effective way to use all their skills (and Iida having his moment to shine on Todoroki’s team)?! Incredible thank you. Midoriya inspiring so many characters to do their best to beat him including Iida, Uraraka, and Todoroki?! Amazing 10/10. Him fighting Shinsou and sympathizing with him but being unable to reveal he understood how he felt and the fact that what provoked Midoriya to get brainwashed wasn’t an insult about him but one about his classmate/friend? Super interesting (though how he broke out of Shinsou’s control was weird & kinda unsatisfying & confusing but whatever I wanted him to win sorry Shinsou)!!!
But like,,, if it’s not about Midoriya, chances are I didn’t like that part of the arc (and I swear this isn’t just me being a Midoriya stan, the parts that didn’t involve Midoriya were just generally disappointing to me) like,,, Midnight???? She’s “the R rated heroine”, who decided it was a good idea for her to work at a school for children? She made a comment that a student’s decision “turned her on” like wtf they’re 15 that’s nasty and illegal? Why can’t Horikoshi write female characters right wtf. I don’t have a problem with her being sexual but her being sexual in an environment with kids and especially towards the kids is gross af!! Even if her comments are just part of her hero persona (which is something I’ve seen people argue), that’s not acceptable in an environment where there are children and she needs to be replaced (also not relevant but her costume is ugly af and horikoshi apparently doesn’t know how boobs work).
The fact that class 1B actually had a really good plan and effectively used their teamwork skills was really cool but of course since they decided to go against Bakugou, they had to fail despite their extensive pre planning. Yes I know that Bakugou is really strong and super determined, but Monoma had figured out almost to the exact number how many students would make it to the next round and analyzed 1A’s quirks and specifically chose his team to be the most effective so I think it would be so interesting if they could’ve made it to the next round (and I’m not even saying Bakugou shouldn’t have made it to the next round, there’s four spots available. Could’ve had him run into Shinsou during the cavalry battle which I think would actually be super interesting considering how easily provoked he is, and if he won against Shinsou it would’ve been interesting to see him go against Monoma in the tournament, if he didn’t win against Shinsou he would’ve gotten the learning experience of actually losing and realizing he can’t just assume he’s better than everyone and can automatically beat them).
Also the Bakugou vs. Uraraka fight? She should’ve won. Bakugou had been using his quirk a LOT throughout the sports festival and he SUPPOSEDLY gets backlash on his hands when he uses his quirk too much. Uraraka was smart and had a solid strategy, one that nobody predicted, and she utilized a LOT of rubble, yet Bakugou, after using his quirk numerous times to explode her, was apparently able to summon a giant explosion which he seemingly received no backlash for at the time. It just doesn’t seem right, and I personally think it would’ve been much more interesting for Bakugou “I’m gonna win” Katsuki to suffer an actual loss & start to realize that he can’t just look down on everybody and assume he’s better than them. Also I hate that people use this fight to be like “omg feminist king Bakugou!” as if he didn’t 1) change his entire fighting strategy (mostly staying on the defensive, only exploding when Uraraka got near, letting her rush him vs. his usual charging at other people, explosions blazing) for his fight with Uraraka, something he didn’t do for any of his male opponents, and 2) assume Midoriya gave her her strategy, not that she was smart enough to come up with it herself.
While we’re talking about unsatisfying fights involving girls, the whole last part of the sports festival deserves a mention. Yeah Shiozaki and Ashido easily got through round one, but then they were pretty much immediately picked off after that so what’s the point? Shiozaki beat Kaminari easily, but then was pushed out of the ring by Iida (no hate to Iida, love him & he deserved his third place win, but it just seemed a bit too easy for him to beat an opponent who had almost effortlessly beaten Kaminari the round before). Ashido won against Aoyama, but similar to Shiozaki, Tokoyami beats her easily. Momo, who up to this point had been pretty confident and sure of herself and her abilities, and had been shown to be pretty adept at using her quirk and thinking on the spot, was suddenly overcome with self doubt and was beaten by Tokoyami in the first round in like 8 seconds like wtf. Mei, who it would’ve been interesting to see what she did if she advanced in the tournament, voluntarily stepped down in the first round because she was only interested in showing off her support items. I know the series isn’t focused on the girls but seriously none of them made it past the second round of the tournament (not to mention the fact that way fewer of them qualified for the third round than the boys)?
Since I’m talking about the girls in conjunction with the sports festival, I feel like I’ve got to briefly mention the cheerleading outfit scene, which I obviously hate for multiple reasons (m*neta being gross, kaminari going along with m*neta despite the fact that he’s actually FRIENDS with the girls and in doing so he is betraying their trust - I could write a whole separate post about kaminari and why he interests and frustrates me but in not gonna do that here cause this post is already too fucking long -, some of the girls being uncomfortable in the outfits, especially after realizing they’d been tricked, etc) but I feel like those r obvious problems so I’m not gonna spend time unpacking that cause it’ll just make me angry. Neways.
The Bakugou vs. Tokoyami fight was kinda disappointing in that he had been such a tough opponent for the girls but is easily defeated by Bakugou (and yeah I know it’s cause Bakugou’s quirk was a bad matchup for Tokoyami but how convenient it was that Bakugou’s quirk just HAPPENED to be Tokoyami’s one weakness (and how come Dark Shadow was that strong earlier, it was really bright out and he even fended off Bakugou, explosions and all? But I digress)).
In the Bakugou vs. Todoroki fight I don’t necessarily disagree with Bakugou winning since it made sense for Todoroki to use only half of his power bc you don’t magically get through trauma in a day (although tbh I think if Todoroki was completely on his game and not distracted trying to start processing the fact that his fire is his he could’ve won against Bakugou, fire or no fire, BECAUSE they’ve both been using their quirks all day, BUT while Bakugou’s quirk had a physical drawback that should’ve weakened him, aka the aforementioned joint pain or w/e - and reminder that Bakugou used his quirk a LOT in the first and second tests, as well as a LOT against Uraraka, and a LOT/for a long time against Kirishima and some against Dark Shadow, so even with resting periods in between matches, unless he got healed by recovery girl which I find unlikely both because I think he would’ve seen it as an insult implying he couldn’t win in his current state and because UA and recovery girl both have a concerning attitude towards healing children, his hands should be in a LOT of pain and he should be over his limit - whereas Todoroki, while also having used his quirk a lot, had the advantage that the drawbacks of his quirk cancel each other out, and even if he wasn’t using his fire DURING matches, he obviously used it some in between - for example, to melt sero out - so he doesn’t have lasting drawbacks in the same way that Bakugou does, AND he trained for 10 years with the number 2 hero, which while end//vor is an absolutely awful person he’s obviously good at fighting meanwhile Bakugou’s only “training” that we know of prior to UA was using his quirk to bully people and even if he HAD trained I don’t think his training would match end//vor’s training so yeah that was a really fucking long winded way of saying I think Todoroki would win if he wasn’t distracted) and it made sense for Bakugou to not think of his win as a win because Todoroki wasn’t trying his best (and had brought out his full power against MIDORIYA, who Bakugou hates).
That being said I obviously have problems with how Bakugou treated Todoroki cause like,,, what the fuck he overheard him telling Midoriya about his trauma and then was a complete and absolute dick about it. Granted Midoriya didn’t handle it quite right either, but he was mostly doing it to help Todoroki rather than prove himself by beating him (don’t get me wrong Midoriya absolutely wanted to win, but once he found out Todoroki’s story he deemed helping Todoroki was more important than winning whereas Bakugou’s first priority was obviously still proving himself) so I still don’t really like that fight (and another thing: it’s really hard to watch Bakugou be so aggressive towards Todoroki after he decides not to use his fire like ik he’s mad bc he thinks Todoroki insulted him by not trying his hardest but that’s uhh none of his fucking business he even fucking KNOWS why Todoroki has such hang ups about using his fire and still!! Registers it as an insult!! He’s smart he should be able to see that some of the reason Todoroki used fire against Midoriya is Midoriya fucking SURPRISED HIM. Even if the people in the stands/watching the broadcast couldn’t hear what they were saying - I don’t remember if they could or not - it should’ve been obvious that Midoriya said SOMETHING that impacted Todoroki enough to get him to use his fire. Bakugou’s approach of yelling at him about it obviously wasn’t gonna work like it worked for Midoriya because Todoroki had already been thrown off too much by Midoriya and hadn’t had time to process it, and nothing that Bakugou said to him was a new emotional revelation. Todoroki himself later states the reason he used the fire at all in the Midoriya fight was that he forgot all about end//vor) and anyways I think the final shoudve been Todoroki vs. Uraraka.
Finally, though I’m obviously not a Bakugou stan, the fact that they fucking muzzled and restrained him just so they could force him to accept a medal he didn’t want? That’s fucked up like I know UA does a really bad job of caring for its students but who thought that was a good idea. Who?!?! It’s probably pretty fucking traumatizing to be muzzled like an animal in front of a crowd of LITERALLY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE and have that played off as a joke, not to mention the fact that I seriously doubt being restrained is a good experience for him after the sludge villain. If he doesn’t want the medal he doesn’t want the damn medal, either give the gold to Todoroki and the silver and bronze to Iida and Tokoyami or just don’t hand out the gold medal your ceremony isn’t more important than the well-being of your students!
(Also while I’m talking about the well being of UA students uhh why the fuck did UA think HAVING the sports festival was a good idea in the first place? They hype it up so much that students are willing to seriously injure themselves over a fucking sporting event in the name of “plus ultra”, not to even mention the fact that it SHOWCASES THE QUIRKS AND BY DESIGN DISPLAYS THE WEAKNESSES OF THESE STUDENTS WHO ARE TRAINING TO BE HEROES WHICH IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS JOB ON LIVE FUCKING TELEVISION SO THAT ANYONE COULD EXPLOIT THEM - something literally every other school takes advantage of at the provisional license exams! Like,, literally Who thought this was a good idea???)
In conclusion, I hate love hate the sports festival arc and the writing really annoys me

yes! despite everything bkdk understand each other very well which usually only happens by being around each other for so long and growing up together. not to go back to that ep again but what bakugou is basically saying throughout the episode is that he now sees midoriya as a threat (someone equal). aaah man i really miss that ep now. and that makes sense! todobaku is such a force to be reckoned with shsjsjsj. at the end of the day all those ships are great on their own. and yeah! i’d say kiribaku has been my main from the get go. i just Love their dynamic yk? how bakugou acts around kirishima just ahh.... <3

(actually i do that even when i’m motivated lmfao) but yeah no actual schedule! if i’m writing a fic in response to something (a trailer, a new chapter, a new ep etc) I’ll just drop everything and write until I’m done with it. hbu?

Why do girls not like other girls? I see all these females go gaga over all the male characters in Fairy Tail, My Hero Academia, and even in real life with actors and asian boy bands. They are always so overprotective of their boys and yet they never talk the same way about other girls. What happened to being a feminist? Why do girls feel the need to criticize other girls? Do women see each other as competition or something?
“females” lmao, “what happened to feminismmmmmm”
That’s because most women are attracted to men, so when it comes to actors and boy bands of course that’s who they’re going to get super into. That said, I see a shitton of women get excited about female actresses and singers, so I have no idea what you’re talking about there. It usually isn’t men stanning the Kardashians or Taylor Swift or whoever
On the other hand, when it comes to male characters, that one’s easy to work out if you stop to think about it.
Since you brought up My Hero Aca, that’s as good an example as any - when was the last time a female character got extended focus about her? Deku, Bakugou and Todoroki all have ongoing arcs, and Kirishima’s been getting a lot more extended focus than Uraraka or Momo lately. So naturally, those women are a lot less interesting than their male counterparts! Conversely, FT women got a lot more focus than MHA women and win fights to boot, so they tend to get pretty large fandoms as well.  (and its not like female characters aren’t still popular.)
If, like in a lot of shounen, the female characters aren’t well-written or don’t get a lot of focus (or fight scenes) or are designated as “the love interest/the damsel”, then it’s only natural you’ll latch onto a male character that has a character arc that appeals to you, or maybe one that you can relate to more consistently. (and while there are shounen series with female characters, the vast majority of series with female leads are shoujo, and if you’re not into that you’re not going to read that, are you?)
Since Marvel’s the big thing, it’s only just now we’re getting a female-focused film, right? After years of complaining that we haven’t gotten a Black Widow one? If women aren’t the main characters with their own arcs and engaging plots, how can you be expected to care about them as much as the male characters that are? 
I kind of wonder if you’re only in fandoms where male characters are the majority of the cast, and that’s why you haven’t seen any female fandoms? I think you’re looking in the wrong places.
also i genuinely wouldn’t try to make this a feminism thing where it isn’t one. people like good media. it’s not a political statement to like the better written parts of their shows.
Why do girls feel the need to criticize other girls? Do women see each other as competition or something?
yeah we call that “inherent misogyny” and it has absolutely nothing to do with criticism, and everything to do with ingrained cultural norms. women in general tend to get judged much more harshly than men for whatever reason (cultural/religious/etc) and it’s something we as a society - not just women, men too - need to work past. women can be sexist without realising it because that’s the way they’ve been raised, or they’ve grown up in a sexist world and not yet completely realised it (or have, and can’t get rid of their ingrained reactions just yet). 
it’s nothing about “competition” lmao it’s all about society, and if you want a more detailed explanation of that i’m really not the person to ask
