What are you yapping about? Straight men can write amazing women just like straight women can make amazing men. Both usually aren’t good at writing both though. There are also many Romances where the guy is obsessed with the female lead and he’s always saving her. So I don’t know what you’re on.
it would be so good if authors didn't force shitty female characters and straight men writing women stuff
like there are so many ways to write good female characters and these people choose "useless + obsessed with mc + damsel in distress" for all of it
exploring her privelege and explaining pity vs goodwill was great, love it.
But her being nonsensically attached to mc for no reason other than for straight men's fantasy made it so much worse.
She's a tool for her father, an object following MC, the first thing she does is try to marry him... so annoying
