throwback to when my delirious five year old sister sat on the toilet, counted on her fingers, and declared with bone-deep wonder and joy that 7 + 3 is eleven
i am not saying female characters cannot be homophobic, and neither am I saying all fics are like this. But if you just target female characters for the purpose of fighting homophobia you're either being lazy or misogynist. Gay people are literally being shunned around the world by religious bigots, toxic masculinity, the law system and politicians but the only cause of homophobia you could come up with is.... women. nice.
i know you guys are going to kill me for this but,,, When people write gay fiction on heteronormative shows e.g Sherlock, the female love interest is villainized or dumbed down. You try to show that homophobia and queerbaiting is bad but you just end up decimating female characters on the basis that they're 'coming in between the main ship' . Why. Aren't there other ways to fight homophobia other than just being wildly inaccurate or just plain mean about female characters? I can see this crap with Sharon Carter and Molly Hooper on this site.

uhhhh who said only men fight in wars and change tires? men did. not women. you said we couldn't fight, so you sent young men to die. when men ran out, you sent women, who died too. till the recent past, being a soldier was a measure of manliness. i thought you loved it? Paying the bills? women do that too, especially single women, because they need to survive. Even married women pay bills, if they're working. If they're not, they take care of the house hold. This is not about 'asking women to clean once or twice' this is about saying that women exist to only clean and cook for you.
You gave yourself away, too. 'i shouldn't be pressured into things associated with my gender' said sarcastically, implying that women should, in fact. be forced to do so.
and the protecting women part? that's funny. Aren't you responsible for 90 per cent of all rapes?
why should women take you seriously? our worth is clearly defined by you as whether or not we can be kept barefoot, pregnant and cooking. 'only women should be allowed to keep gender roles' uhhhh no. all the gender roles today, were enforced years ago by men. and the ironic bit about this is that by the end of your post, you imply that only a woman who bears children is a good woman, enforcing and parroting the same old story.
Also sacrificing things in a relationship? only women are expected to do that. leave your job for a baby that your man wants. cook and clean and spend half your life doing just that. career? none.
also do men not want just money and sex? i thought that was why you have girfriends, who you'll never marry or have children with, while you do a 9 to 5 because you want a little money.
traditionally 'masculine' men: i need a woman to make me dinner🥺 i can't do it myself because that's her place to do so and i'm just too manly 🥺 she needs to be nurturing like my mommy🥺 also her asking for any material possession in return for her services is so rude of her weeeeeeh😭 doesn't she know she's my mommy???😭😭😭
