Whenever I have my feminism moral attack, it's usually all personal and never about teaching others. It just disturbs me when somebody female says that male characters are just more interesting and that female characters could just never be that interesting. Because I always think, as a woman, how can you believe that and not go crazy? It's not about not helping the evil patriarchy or educating other women into being good little feminists.
If I as a woman honestly believed that as a woman I could never be as interesting or cool or good as a man, why not just shoot myself since I can obviously never live up to the big standards? Do you really go through life thinking your are flawed because you were born a woman since only men have interesting stories? I love men, I'm attracted to them, I like reading about them. But I cringe every time somebody says women just couldn't be possible be interesting. Not for feministic reasons, because as a women, that kind of world would just be too depressing. Sounds too much like saying "Hey, women, your life might as well be useless because none of your stories will ever be worth telling because you just aren't interesting;".
I believe that men and women are equal as human beings. And that therefore that both have the potential to be interesting.
...And I believe I have hopelessly veered off topic here.
