*steals @ncstokes ‘s hat and notes for myself*

@theresa-play Prepare for rant. I was watching Return of the King yesterday, and Eowyn was complaining that she was being forced to go with the women and children. While I understand being forced into a role you don’t want to fill “just because”, I was annoyed because she acted like preparing food and medicine for the soldiers was a lesser role. I am not a Strong Female Character, and in a lot of stories where the SFC scoffs at traditionally feminine things, I would be the person doing those things. It feels like those characters are devaluing my role, and thereby devaluing ME. *Takes deep breathe* So, don’t do that.

I am not interested in really girly-girl things (why would I care when I could be thinking about books!), but my sisters and mom really like shopping and choosing outfits. So even though I have a fairly low shopping tolerance, I try and have fun picking out outfits as a way to spend time with my family, and show that I can care about what they care about. I don’t know where I was going with this exactly, but maybe she can do something like that too?

Another thing is that girl’s emotions (at least mine), can be a bit crazy. I think someone might of mentioned something similar already, but I cry very easily, and I am not a drama queen. Half the time when I cry, I think “Why am I crying? This is not worth crying over.” But I do it anyways. (Silly hormones) Even thinking about crying will make my eyes water. I don’t know about others those, this is just how I react.
