But doesn't the Scythian replicate archetypal male values?
From her "True Grit, Mattie Ross and feminism?" video:
Wanting characters to challenge gender norms but also not adopting male values is kind of at odds for me.
The problem is assuming certain behaviors are solely male values. The cultural problems we have where gender roles are concerned fall into two broad categories. One is the devaluation of traditionally female traits and roles. The other is classifying everything else as male values. Peoples positions on these subjects vary a lot. It varies a lot within feminist theory. The only advice I can give is its best to take a nuanced stance. Our cultural problems where gender is concerned are outlined by exceedingly fuzzy edges. Even where Anita's position in her videos are concerned. I agree with most everything she says and don't disagree with the rest (yes, intentional double negative) yet despite my agreeing with her, if I were to state my own perspective it would have a different slant to it, a different nuance.
