Is it just me or does the trope of female main characters in fantasy books not wanting to wear dresses annoy anyone else? Like why wouldn’t you want to wear a gorgeous, beautifully crafted dress?

I like the trope where it’s “I am uncomfortable wearing dresses but this is so beautiful I never want to take it off”, me personally (like in stolen heir)

Nah I get it too. I’m a guy but if there’s a dress pretty enough even I’d wear it

i understand the whole “women don’t have to wear dresses” but why make every female character angsty like that. I’m not a tom boy, I wanna see fantasy girl characters just be happy in their pretty little dress.
