Watching Spy but randomly skipping parts of the start because i want o love melissa mccarthy but there's only so much 'woman does stupid clumsy things and accepts being treated as lesser by overtly misogynistic farps' i can stand before i try to leap through the tv and attack her and i'm already close to the limit because miranda hart is in this too. Also still running a fever so relaity is trnous.
Maybe i should watch llama face instead
This is the truth of the universe
So's llama face
I really hate that.
There’s either the one dimensional girlboss who’s basically a male action hero with boobs and anything less than that is to be aggressively looked down on… or there’s the bumbling Bridget Jones everywoman who’s supposed to be relatable.
Mix of strengths and weaknesses pls
It's just for the movie, they have to make it all extreme so the change is much more dramatic.
But it doesn't ring true. The type of woman who would work in such a place would already be unorthodox and care little for social expectations regarding gender roles. She would have a strong character that doesn't care much what people say or think so there is no way she would put up with crap for long.
