Comment Meta
Femslash Mini Meta fest was an utter fail this year. And I'm still not in a place where I could do it, so I purpose Comment Meta. And let's have it cover all things female and fannish. However you define those.
How it works
1. Post a meta topic in a top level comment. Use the subject line for the meta subject and expand as you want in the body of the comment. Or don't.
2. Repeat Step 1 for as many meta ideas as you have.
3. Comment on other meta topics.
It's kinda like a kink meme, only with meta. Feel free to browse the mini meta tag for ideas.
This is meant to be about as low pressure as it comes. Feel free to write on your own journal/Tumblr/blog and link back here. Respond with as little or as much as you want. This post will remain open indefinitely, so please track it if that makes things easier for you.

Re: Favorite Tropes as Applied to Femslash
The thing that I find extremely frustrating about Teen Wolf's approach to gender is that you have a lot of Minority Police Captain syndrome going on, where women are named as being in charge, but then for various story reasons are effectively powerless.
- Laura Hale is a dead body
who was the Hale pack alpha before the series started.
- The Argents
claim that women are their war leaders, but Victoria Argent wasn't
introduced in the series until several episodes after her husband Chris in
season 1, and is immediately undercut by her father-in-law Gerard when he
appears, and Allison functions as titular leader for a handful of episodes
while always dancing to her grandfather's tune.
- Last but not
least, we are repeatedly told that Lydia Martin is a queen of the social
scene, but we never see her wield that power over anyone except Jackson and
Stiles, and, by the time we see her attempt to use it, her juice has
evaporated because of that one time when she was assaulted by a psycho at
prom and then ran away from the hospital and wandered the woods naked for,
like, two days.
In other words, yeah, I totally get why you would not actually want to watch Teen Wolf.Re: Favorite Tropes as Applied to Femslash
