Run Away Turn Away

everything about eleven’s character is misogynistic. she barely escaped her abusers and, within a week, they put her into a relationship when she didn’t even know how to form a sentence or understand what privacy, friends, or a promise were. they never explored her personal interests. she never had the chance to live a normal life or to have a moment where she knew everything was going to end. she talks about feeling like she doesn’t belong anywhere, and in reality, she’s right, she doesn’t belong anywhere. she didn’t even get the chance to see her mother one last time. they gave her a female friendship that helped develop her character beyond the men in her life, and in the last season they don’t even seem close anymore. they had to remove max from her life so mike could be the center and so she could say that he’s the one who understands her the most. she was born out of the “born sexy yesterday” trope, she’s mike’s manic pixie dream girl, and to top it all off, she died as one of the most well known misogynistic tropes, the woman in the refrigerator.
