Okay. You said that not liking girly girl things such as Sophie and Ro. Let’s look at the term girly girl. Perfectly stated in a series of unfortunate events by violet beaudelaire: ‘some people find that term offensive because it means they don’t conform to society’s standards’. Alright. A girly girl is a sexist term. And liking girl things does not make you weak. There shouldn’t be girl things like that anyway- just people things. And with sexism being supposedly unexistent it just doesn’t make sense. And wow okay Sophie foster is not a standard girl she hates dresses omg this book is so empowering- think again. It’s actually kind of the opposite. Now, if Sophie was to address this and talk about why she hates dresses or doesn’t pretend to be a tomboy, it would be better. And okay, she hates dresses. The why on earth in every single cover is she wearing a dress? She’s letting people force her into a dress despite hating them. Think about how UNempowering that is. She is a bad role model to the young girls reading these books. So, sorry, not having the main character be a typical girl does not make this series any less sexist. I would accept it if it was a normal world. But because edaline says it isn’t a thing in the lost cities, I have to object. Just read magic daydreamer’a 7th point for more things on that.
