i think its always worth thinking about how women are portrayed in certain stories, from fictional narratives to reddit posts presenting themselves as true stories. is every woman in the narrative either antagonistic or shallow? are most or all of the men portrayed as sympathetic and competent, moreso than the women, even if they commit the same crimes?

#i read reddit stories bc i love rotting my brain apparently and this is SO constant in those #one literally ended like ''i have concluded that i cant trust women bc theyre all lying cunts unlike the men who helped me here''#and the comments were like ''wow.... makes you think....''#like wc is a good litmus test. why are only the women in crookedstar's story held accountable while the men in power are shrugged off #why do all of the women get twisted into shrill harpies for nightheart's arc while all the men who commit the same pressure on him #get idealized and held up as fantastic and awesome and sympathetic #why is the man in this story calm and collected while being horrible while the woman is hysterical and emotional and loud #how come the fat woman in hh is seen as annoying and terrible and a danger to their cause bc ''she brought danger to them''#while the snake guy outright attacks the place twice and tries to hurt them but is an uwu cinnamon roll who deserves a chance #echoed voice #like... an antagonistic woman isnt a bad thing. women can be horrible irl. absolutely but its important to try and see when this is a patte #pattern #when theres just straight up a double standard
