8: Why do you keep painting this as inherently feminine? It's not. These are the actions of someone who's seeking validation in spite of accomplishing more than a galaxy's worth of armies, some who seeks validation from a father figure in spite of the fact that she's accomplished more than he has, more than all the people he's ever commanded put otgether, more than all the people he's ever known put together. How is that feminine? How can you possibly not see this as problematic? |
This caught my interest and I wanted to reply to it. I'm not really disagreeing or agreeing with you, but I wanted to talk about this statement.
I don't know what you mean by problematic, but I don't necessarily see it as feminine. What I do see it as is human. We are always looking for the appreciation and acknowledgement of those closest to us. It matters not what we physically accomplish, but what those who are close to us think of us. Knowing that someone you love and care for thinks highly of you is more important than any physical achievement you could ever accomplish. We're humans. We're complicated.
If I am seen as a hero in the eyes of my girlfriend, that means more to me than what 1 million other people think about me. I will always strive to be her hero and to have her look upon me as one. No physical accomplishment I make in this world means anything to me if she doesn't see me as a hero.
