Imma Repost Cuz This Is Better - Tumblr Posts

I completely agree with you about everything and I’m sorry I wasn’t clear enough about what i was referring to when i said “heroines in a masculine light’, when i was referring to the trope where masculine girls or "one of the boys" characters dislike or look down upon girly girls and believe they are superior, for no other reason than the other girl being more feminine and/or girly, and I would just love to see an actual masculine women and transmasculine people represented  in media  where they are more prominent and their stories that should go beyond their gender identity or sexuality, focusing on their experiences, conflicts, and personal growth. Authentic representation by individuals with those identities ensures nuanced and informed storytelling. 

but in light to that I do think and agree with you that It's crucial to have diverse and authentic portrayals of different experiences and identities in media without reinforcing negative or divisive narratives.

Overall y’know just like you said I just want to see media where women of any kind can just see themselves in and relate to because they are represented in a way that is authentic and shows at least some of the complexity and nuance of they're life.

Recently re-watched “confession of a shopaholic”, “legally blonde”, “clueless”, “the devil wears Prada” and “the house bunny” and lemme tell you no one can compare to how that era in media represented girly girls as much as it did, sure it wasn’t perfect, but it just hits differently now that almost every type of trope or girl heroine is represented in a masculine light or not like other girls trope and  sees the girly girls as shallow and dumb. 

Like its so hard to find anything where girls and women just support each other, and if they are going to be rivals or not like each other pls make it so that its actually relevant to the plot and make sense for them to not like each other, and not just because women hate other women trope.
