Pumpkins and Bumblebees

if you think for even just a second how fucking crazy bonkers it is that women are so frequently kept from being protagonists or important or fully realized characters when its like. That is literally 50% of the world population. Half of all people (more or less. hopefully more as time marches on!) are women. And you look at media and think about how many protagonists are men and their best friends are men and the ensemble cast is 80-100% men and the fandoms are about men and the romances are about men. well. YOU GO INSANE

"But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?" -- Ursula K. Leguin

for once it's better to watch this one without sound first

the double standard of what women characters have to do to be considered remotely interesting by fandom is actually insane. you will legit have a woman with super hot character design, the most intriguing backstory, and/or incredible drive and skill--all things that would get people writing books worth of fanfic and meta for men. but this will be utterly ignored if a man in her vicinity is, like, funny once
