female protagonists will literally go through 30 life altering traumas at the age of 16 and you ppl still have the audacity to call them annoying bc they cry about it and act like teenage girls

You can鈥檛 win as a woman in fiction. Be too positive, you become a Mary Sue, have flaws and those flaws are why almost nobody likes you. Be moderate, you have wet-cabbage personality, be exuberant, you are an unrealistic example. Have strong morals, and you鈥檙e badly developed, be morally corrupt and you鈥檙e hated with such vigour fans will send hate mail to the actress who plays the character. Be kind and soft and in love, you鈥檙e a representation of sexism, be cruel, harsh and cold and you鈥檙e just a bitch. Be a complex, realistic, ambiguous character, and either your flaws or your positive traits will be ignored or blown out of proportion and into oblivion. There is no winning for female characters.

"to endure!"
vincent van gogh ("trees and undergrowth")
robert lowell [How will the heart endure?]
vincent van gogh [I must endure bad times and the waters will rise, possibly as high as the lips and possibly even higher, how can I know beforehand? But I鈥檒l fight my fight and sell my life dearly and try to win and pull through.]
rainer maria rilke [To be loved means to be consumed. To love means to radiate with inexhaustible light. To be loved is to pass away, to love is to endure.]
joan didion [Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it.]
elena ferrante [maybe not even a very orderly mind can endure the discovery of not being loved.]
elena ferrante [I will give what I can give, I will take what I can take, I will endure what has to be endured.]
han kang [The feeling that she had never really lived in this world caught her by surprise. It was a fact. She had never lived. Even as a child, as far back as she could remember, she had done nothing but endure.]
victor frankl [What is to give light must endure burning.]
