It would be really nice to go into Claire Dearings tag and not find endless diatribes about her f**king heels. Bryce fought to keep Claire’s heels because she knows that some women wear heels and make-up like war paint. They put on those heels and it flicks a switch, they feel beautiful and confident and ready to take on the patriarchy and there’s not a damn thing wrong with that.
Her being a carbon copy of Ellie Satler would do neither character any justice. There’s isn’t just one way to be a competent and strong woman. We need a diverse array of strong women in media characters like Furiosa, Sarah Conner, Melinda May are great but they represent one facet of female strength.
The most sexist thing going on in the jw fandom right now is mainly guys going “ha ha look at that silly female character running in heels, so unrealistic” put Serena Williams in heels she’s still gonna whoop you and your fragile masculinity at tennis.
It seems to be any woman who doesn’t fit your “cool girl” image of a guy with tits is going to get torn apart. Let me tell you there are women out there who can dance in heels, run in heels, do f**king backflips in heels.
So take your sexist diatribes dressed up as feminism and shove it because Claire Dearing is a queen.
