How to depict breaking gender stereotypes the right way: ✅ Twst showing by action that men in Twisted Wonderland find it normal to put on makeup. Nobody comments on their preferences.
How to depict it the wrong way: ❌ Cringe ass books explicitly repeating how much the mc dislikes wearing dresses because she's a strong independent woman and frilly skirts are for helpless little girls.
I think books should normalize just casually saying that the girl wore a suit to the ball-- she just likes pants and nothing else. Stop narrating how annoying a goddamn gown is. Just because a woman likes dresses doesn't suggest she's weak.
