Yeah I was actually just talking about this with my friend captaincatapult, but it's kind of like the concept "strong female character" almost has more to do with physical strength/HBIC... ness than it does with emotional strength of character or whether or not they are well-written? She actually threw out Juliet as an example of someone who does possess the latter two qualities but is almost valued more for being a HBIC, but then there are also the Kara Thraces and River Tams who are not really emotionally together, but still considered strong female characters because of their physical strength and/or masculine characteristics. But what can you say, fandom likes its' ~ladies with guns~. Although okay one of the many things I love about the way Scully is written is that the fact that she is a better shot than Mulder is never explicitly stated or made a big deal out of-- you just kind of infer it. Actually the only time they ever really make a big deal out of her asskicking is that fantasy scene in Kill Switch...

Hahaha SORRY, I think I contributed to them running out of red sizes. But to be honest I think I love the blue one at least as much, I seriously can't tell you how many times I've worn that dress since December.
