People complain about men writing women in fiction. Same. But also, some of the women writing these romance books need to be all put in a conference. YOU CANT MAKE UR MC A BADASS BUT ALSO THE MOST INCOMPETENT DAMSEL. FUCK.

You can’t say she’s intelligent but include no moment of her looking at things critically. She can’t be smart and a know it all in a fish out of water moment. She can’t be perceptive, but then why do all of the characters verbally explain everything to her?

“Who hurt you” literally makes me want to wither and die. Bc then it’s making her look small and weak. But she’s supposed to be a badass. You can have a misogynist ML and a badass FMC. but you’re female character who can fed for herself has to actually prove it.

AND I DONT MEAN “she karate chopped him and she knows all form of combat” that only shows up for once scene and she’s a limp noodle the next. Humans make mistakes but if your trained you make CONSISTENT mistakes
