i’m going to be honest: the whole thing about the best straight ships being when the man is a watered down gomez addams and the woman is a generic girlboss is boring. i’m not going to turn this into a “it’s okay to like m/f pairings” this isn’t that. i just think making things generic is not fun. i need them to drive each other crazy.

#.txt #i think it’s just people’s concern over liking shitty heterosexual relationships which is fair.#but this whole malewife/girlboss thing as a ''subversion'' of heterosexual ships just goes back to another sexist heterosexual genre.#i.e. useless dumb man with competent woman (who often acts motherly because that's totally subversive).#i've seen it in every sitcom. it's not new. making female characters having to endure male characters is not new or subversive.
