So...I had an epiphany a couple weeks ago.

"Why does modern 'girlbosses' feel so...wrong?"

Here's my take on this issue. I believe Femenine power does not come from becoming more like a man, but by embrassing your femeninity and using it as a weapon. A lady, is not necessarily a damsel in distress. A lady is a strong woman who knows who she is and how her gifts as a woman may be of her own advantage when push comes to shove. A Girlboss, is a lady, who is not handed wins, but earns them by working hard and overcoming the obstacles that come her way.

For me, this is Girl Power. And as you can see, it isn't hard to understand.

A Girlboss doesn't deny her femininity, but embraces it. Characters from years ago demonstrate this perfectly, one of my favorites is Peggy Carter from the MCU.

Her demeanour is delicate, elegant, but strong and intimidating. Her words, more often than not, are her best weapon. Uses violence as a last resort, prefering to think ahead, strategizing instead of bashing in and punch anything that comes her way. Other characters have done this, earning their victories.

Nami from One Piece, Mulan from the animated movie, Merida from Brave, Rapunzel from Tangled, Caitlyn Kiramman from Arcane, the list goes on.

Feminity is not weakness, Masculinity is not strength.

Feminity is power by elegance and diplomacy. By controling the fire within us, since it can transform into a wild fire from just a spark. Feminity is handling a sword, not for glory, but for protection. Winning a war with a keen mind, instead of a batallion.

Hollywood needs to understand this.

A Woman can fight and triumph, not just by being a woman, but because she worked her ass off for that victory, like any other hero.

hello Lord Huron fans who are also Magnus Archives fans:

I am assigning LH characters to the fears and I am drawing a blank on the Dark and the Corruption (and tbh the Buried and the End are a little shaky)

anyone got ideas?
