What makes a strong female character is a character who has weaknesses, who has flaws, who is maybe not immediately likable, but eventually relatable.
Tavi GevinsonI always joke that I'd like to be a cat 'cause then I'll have nine lives, and then I can do like everything. But that's really hard.
Tavi GevinsonI have a problem with people saying feminine means anti-feminist, and I think it's counter-productive to immediately associate anything "girly" with vanity or stupidity. I also think it takes away from girls' agency to say that girls who are interested in that kind of thing only are because they don't know what's good for them.
