Female Stereotypes
Painting With WordsNot sure if I'm going to rant here or not, but I've read my fair share of stories to see a number of female stereotypes portrayed. I'm going to try and keep this like very... uh... succinct, but not promises. (:
1. The weird girl that everyone loves.
So like, I'm pretty sure we've read something like this right? Basically, the female is portrayed as this almight Queen and everyone loves her, even if she farts. She's got boys falling at her feet, left and right. I don't know, let me write an example.
Choa frowned, the wall because she thought it was some type of chocolate. The boys around her sighed in amazement.
YEAH. NO.
2. The blank teenage girl that doesn't care because #yolo
Basically what's stated above. She's got no quirks, but like hey, she's interesting enough?
"Hey honey," My mum shouted from the kitchen as I entered he house, slipping off my shoes.
"Yeah... hey," I reply, trudging my way towards the room.
BIG NO. That's boring and she's plain. Unless you can create a colourful, fruit back story, don't use a girl like this.
3. Brave chick with no personality whatsoever, except for the fact that hey, she kills stuff.
Again, this is bland. Give her some spice, add some fire to her personality. Don't make her just a killing machine, that's an absolute bore and no fun to read. Like, just because she can reply with so called "jokes", DOESN'T MEAN SHE'S FUNNY. BUILD A BRIDGE AND DELVE DEEPER GUYS. OKAY. OKAY.
Yeah, that's all. All example used here were my creation and wow, I . Okay, bye little nuggets ♥
