when i say i'm sick of the male saviour trope, i don't mean that i want every single female character to be a completely self-sufficient independent woman who needs no man.
i mean that i want to see more female solidarity in media.
give me a trope where the murdered woman is avenged by her mother or sister or female friend or girlfriend or wife.
give me a trope where the woman who is kidnapped or being assaulted is saved by another woman.
give me a trope where a female detective investigates SA cases and brings justice to women.
give me more tropes where a woman is helped or saved or supported by other women, instead of a man.
yes, everyone needs help and support once in a while but for a woman, a man shouldn't be her only outlet.
