🙌🏻 Amen, sister!

Agree! I didn't get it either. Some books sound like a revenge on females 😞

I came across one female author where I asked that exact question in my review. I'll never read another book of hers. It was disgusting.

Because some readers love FMC like that and they just wanted to sell their book methink. Once I asked Michelle Smart on twitter if the publisher made a rule a heroine should celibate during separation on HP. She said no, but she got lots of angry emails when she wrote non celibate heroine. I forgot to ask though, where those email came from and their age range. Maybe some of readers feels better of themselves while reading pathetic women on papers, who knows.

I studied women's lit in college, and I can't help but think if more authors did so we would have much better presentations of women in fiction because they would know how hard the women writers who came before them worked to changed the flat, stereotypical depiction of women by men that existed for so long. Knowledge is power.

👍🏻 Well said
It's infuriating, some of them are so stupid I wonder how they actually make it through the day.
Drives me nuts.

I wonder the same thing! I wish more authors would write heroines with healthy self esteem that would tell jerky, unworthy H's to move along.
