Unknowingly 3rd wheeled a date between a geek and a rugby bro. Good news. I have 2 new friends and am invited to play magic the gathering next weekend.

Guys complaining about alleged "Girl Bosses" would not have survived the late 90s to early 2000s.

Hell, not even the eighties when there were a growing amount of girl characters taking sh*t and taking names. There might've been concessions in their characters arc in pertaining to men buuuuuut a whole lot of them from those decades would've cheesed off the Status Quo Warriors of today.

Back in my day, they were called Strong Female Characters(TM) by overcompensating male writers. None of this same stuff but different labels.
