First of all, Innocence is not an act. If you are truly innocent, You don't have to pretend.
So girls who are innocent only care about looks. Wow, never heard that observation.Honestly, you are degrading women/girls who are feminine by their nature. By feminine, i mean by the way they dress and act. We don't call tomboys as feminine cuz they aren't. If women weren't characterized by their personality/looks/dress sense, we would not have the term feminine. In case you didn't know what feminine means, please google.
Even guys get criticized if they act in any way feminine. Again, There is a certain way of things that specifically define women and hence the term feminine. Mostly feminine character is known for softness and maternal instincts. The reason why a mother is favored in custody battle of a child is because they are feminine by nature and have maternal instincts that a father(a man) lacks.
LOL....I never said "All women MUST be feminine". I find kyrie to be feminine and thats why i like her. Jus as Eva was. Also women can't be violent and feminine at the same time. Jus like tomboys aren't feminine.
In case you have forgotten, Eva couldn't be saved. And jus because kyrie could be saved, does not make her any less of a character.
Eva was tough but she couldn't do much. Jus as kyrie was suicidal to save the child. Which does say kyrie was tough. But yeah , Eva is a more siginificant character to DMC and kyrie was jus a spin-off character. But I don't think any less of kyrie. Besides being stereotypical.
EDIT: Jus got this from wiki:
And none of it says violence.
"Gentleness,caring,sweetness etc' Those are TRAITS which ANYONE should posses,not just women.
So,if a man is gentle and caring he's not considered manly but feminine. Don't bring that up.
I know guys who think that if one of them shows compassion or cries he's considered a 'p*ssy'. Those need a reminder that feelings are totally human and so is crying.Not just something women do.
And it's nothing wrong in showing a weak side,but many men don't want to because it's considered 'feminine' and it makes them less of a 'true man'. THIS is a stereotypical way of thinking,even for men.
There can be men who don't like violence,but at the same time there can be women who practice it.Just look at women in martial arts,there are plenty. And they can kick ass and many guys are afraid that a woman can take care of herself and be herself without being LABELED.
I wasn't talking about violence. I was talking about what feminine is considered in society and how many women are stressed about it because they fear that it if they do something not feminine they might be labeled as unladylike and not a true woman. What's the matter if a woman can fight? What if a man can't?
I don't know about you,but I'd be happy to live besides someone who can feel comfortable near me and won't act in a certain way to prove
ANYTHING.
My point about Eva wasn't about that. Eva has a different story. Eva put her life in danger knowing that there won't be anyone to save her and she protected something she cherished. She didn't have to wait for her knight to save her because she was on her own,she didn't have anyone to rely on to save her. Besides this,Eva doesn't give the feeling of a stereotypical damsel in distress.
Then again,who defined the term '
FEMININE'? I tell you who,not women,but mostly men. (not all,so I won't be generalizing)
What does it mean? What does
MANLY means? These terms were looked in a stereotypical way for ages,and if you don't behave accordingly to them you basically are an outcast and you're looked down because you're not fitting in their selfish STANDARDS of what they think is or isn't feminine or manly.
Again, I wasn't talking about innocent ones ( I repeat nobody is innocent in essence because we're human beings) but I was talking about those girls who only care about their looks in order to please the man near them and have to act like that because they're afraid they won't be loved if they would be themselves and act like a normal being.
Don't tell me THESE women don't have pressure on them because of the society,I understand that because I'm a woman myself.
I don't try to degrade the term feminine,but I want to prove that women aren't only reduced to that and that many of them are capable of many things.Just likethere are male cooks,there can be scientist women but that doesn't make them less of a person.
Being feminine or manly doesn't define you as person.
Women can wear dresses in their free time but at the same time they can work in automobile repair shops.Men can wear large clothes and work as a babysitter. And these people don't need anyone to define who they are because that's their choice.
I can wear a suit and the next day wear a dress.What's the deal in it? I can play video games the the next day bake a cake.
Why should we refrain anybody from who they really are and what they like and be considered not feminine/manly?
You generalize. And you gave that example as a way to say that women are the ones who should take care of the children because they have maternal instincts. What about mothers who don't have children or those who even kill their children? Where is their maternal instinct? What if a father takes care more than the mother? Is he considered feminine? Does that mean he lacks what many call 'parental instinct' ? No.
And this is where the justice system is wrong.
They favor the mother simply on the fact that she has maternal instincts.What if that woman doesn't have any love for her child but the father DOES? The father won't have the custody of the child because the mother was choosed to take 'care' of it even if she doesn't love him,it's because she possesses that 'maternal instinct'. See where this is wrong.
I think this got somehow off-topic,sorry for that.
