For those of you interested: due to the security breach, I was supposed to reset my password, but the email I used to create my tumblr no longer exists, so there is no way of me getting the reset e-mail. Thankfully I am still signed in on my mobile phone, but I will be unable to access this tumblr on the desktop, so I chose to instead create a new start, so to say. I am really sad to see this blog go as we kind of grew up together (gosh, I have been here since all my LiveJournal friends wandered over here), but I will just have to get used to this change. Thank you all of you for following me. It was a nice ride, and I hope to see you over at @caressyouintodarkness. Love, R

@vox takes on the trope of the hypercompetent female sidekick. You know her – the one who’s the smartest, toughest and most capable yet ends up being rescued by the less talented, but extremely straight, white, cisgender and male hero. 

This intersects well with discussions about the pay gap and obstacles women face in their careers. For those of us who aren’t straight white cisgender men – the persistence of being typecast as not-the-hero (or the boss, or the leader, or the expert commenter) despite qualifications, talents and capabilities is a lived reality.

This is definitely a trope. Definitely male wish fulfillment and definitely ignoring the perspectives of women. But did they see the season finale of The Magicians? I don’t want to spoil anything but it was basically structured to call out this trope and flip it on its head. To say that he ended up the hero of that day is…oh my…it’s like they didn’t even watch it.

Agree with everything, and definitely agree on the part about The Magicians. (Everyone, please watch The Magicians if you are interested in urban fantasy settings, extremely witty banter and a set of characters that are diverse both in terms of gender, race and sexuality. This series deals so well with both human relations and the influence of society on humans, I just... did not expect this from Syfy, to be honest.)
