So Many Female Characters Are The Girlfriend

I Was So Tall In High School That I Was Convinced That I Was Uncoordinated And Not Athletic. I Was Terrified To Play Any Sport At All, No Matter How Hard They Tried To Convince Me To Be On The Girls' Basketball Team As The Tallest Kid In Class.

Archery Is Something That I Took Up Later And Didn't Know I Had A Natural Aptitude For.

It's Partly Because Our Culture So Hyper-sexualizes Females That If You Don't Measure Up To Whatever We're Forced To Think Is The Standard, Then You Feel Inadequate.

My Thing In High School Was Being The Tallest Kid In Class. Always. I Was Always The Tallest Kid In Class.

The Fictitious Worlds Created For Kids Are Nearly Bereft Of Female Presence. It's Sending A Very Clear Message From The Beginning That Women And Girls Do Not Have Half Of The Adventures, That They're Not As Important. We're Teaching Kids That Girls And Women Don't Take Up Half The Space In The World.
