[SW:TFA] okay no I actually can't with this
It is an article entitled Rey is not a role model for little girls. By a man. (That turns out to contain oblivious cissexism too, hurrah.)
The first sentence is I hate to break it to you, but Rey is not a role model for little girls.
And I just. I just can't. At this dude. Declaring that this female protagonist is not a role model for girls and women she is a role model for men.
I get the point he is trying to make: really, I do. It's just that the flavour of entitled it takes to look at Rey, and ignore shit like this, and assert that there aren't girls and women desperately, desperately thirsty for this kind of hero... and tell them that she's not for them, she's for men.
Just... wow.
