“Written By A Man”: Women Are Calling Out 30 Unrealistic Female Character Tropes They See In Books And Movies
The perfect suburban '50s housewife. The wholesome girl next door. And, of course, the bimbo. I think it's safe to say we've seen one too many of these tropes on the big screen.
Interested in finding out which productions have resorted to them (and other similar ones), Reddit user Mikess314 made a post on r/AskWomen, saying: "What movie featuring female characters was clearly made without a single woman being involved?"
Turns out, people think there's no shortage of them. Continue scrolling to check out how everyone responded.

Jurrasic World. Let's please stop it with 'frigid, stuck up corporate woman taken down a peg by rough and tumble guy with big heart and then falls in love with him'. Please, I'm begging everyone in Hollywood. Stop this madness.
Harley Quinn’s dumb outfit in Suicide Squad. No woman is going to dress like that for anything physical. Those short shorts would ride up your bum and you’d break your ankle in the stilettos.
There’s a huge difference with the outfits in Birds of Prey which was written, directed and produced by women. High rise denim shorts, sports bra and a chunky wedge (or trainers I think?) is a way better outfit for causing mayhem.
Almost every female super heroes. What woman in her right mind would go into battle breast out, legs bare, hair flying all over the place in full nails and makeup? It doesn’t matter if it’s a tv program, a movie, anime, live action, cartoon, etc…
Not a movie, but the episode of Game of Thrones where Gillie decides to take Sam's virginity 5 seconds after he saves her from being r**ed and we all know that nothing makes a woman hotter than almost being r**ed by gruesome strangers. Oh, wait, no, it's just that a bunch of dudes decided that Sam deserved a "prize" for his heroic acts and so they wrote in the woman's vagina as the prize without putting any thought into what an actual human female would do in that situation.
This one is especially bad because in a previous season there was a well-written scene where a female character specifically states "A woman who has just escaped a r**e won't want to have sex immediately after. You should have known you were being set up because of that."
So not only where there no women involved in the new scene, there was no one who bothered to read what was actually written in previous seasons. The latter is almost more offensive LOL.
The scene where Jaime tells Tyrion that he should have known he was being set up is straight from the books. The scene where Gilly takes Sam's virginity was made up for the show. It's just another example of how the showrunners simply could not match the writing quality of the books. Everything after Season 3 is just middling fan fiction.
Movies where women are running for their lives in high heels.
Movies where prostitutes easily fall in love with their johns
Movies that get basic female anatomy wrong.
And to be specific, Star Wars: The Revenge Of The Sith when Padme “loses the will to live” after having 2 beautiful, healthy babies, because shes so sad about losing Anakin.
Yeah, because as we know, Mothers are never motivated by their children and don’t really want to protect them. If they’re boyfriend has a tantrum, they just lay down and die.
Any birth scene where the mother is just a little sweaty but totally glowing and happy and wide awake after a 20-hour labor, and looks like she was never pregnant at all as soon as they leave the hospital.
Also, a number of kids' shows presumably tailored for girls (stuff like Instant Mom on Nick), and tv sitcoms for that matter, in which the mother is constantly wearing high heels at home, makeup, the whole armor..., while the guys are are laid back in their pajamas and slippers. I am a guy but that is so idiotic and sexist.
Another one: when Jennifer Lawrence dyes her hair platinum blonde with boxed hair dye in Red Sparrow. As any fake blonde will tell you it’s a really time consuming and tricky process. Not something you do in 10 minutes in a bathroom.
Pretty sure any Cosmo Girl could tell you that
Books where women are incredibly aware of what their boobs are doing and how they feel all the time....
Books where the female characters never interact with each other or it’s always negative/catty/competitive.
In Age of Ultron where Black Widow is talking about how she's a monster but not because she's an assassin — just because she's infertile. WTF?
There’s a line in a book about a lady taking so long to pee because the pee gets lost in her confusing lady maze inside.
The first few Avengers movies with Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow. It seems like she was just there to be eye candy and not really have much of a character. She has hinted a bit at this, that she put her foot down on a scene where they had her in a cute tennis outfit for no reason. It was nice to see them give her more of a character throughout the series.
Every single movie Megan Fox was ever in. Transformers… oh my god that was rough. Michael Bay practically shoved the camera up her a**hole and just told her to act hot, but then tried to say it was feminist because she… knew about cars? Lol.
Jennifer’s body is a whole other beast. Great movie clearly made by and for women, and the marketing just said “Megan fox is in it, so let’s make it look like it’s just a sex movie with a sexy lady and market it to the COMPLETELY wrong audience.”
Michael Bay is notoriously known for shoving women into eye-candy roles. Have you seen Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Transformers? It was gag-worthy.
Revenge of the nerds.
What would a women do if she realized she has been tricked into having sex with another man without her consent?
Keep having sex with him, of course
All the girls in “Spring Breakers” ... written by Harmony Korine. There’s something unsettling about a middle aged guy writing through the eyes of college girls. Vanessa Hudgen’s character says, “Seeing all this money makes my pussy wet”.
IF SHE IS DESCRIBED AS THE “cool girl” F**K THAT F**K THAT F**K THAT!!! NO GIRL EXISTS LIKE THAT. One that is the perfect amount interested in “male things” while still maintaining the PERFECT amount of femininity. Never gets mad. Is never too clingy. That s**t. watch the cool girl monologue from Gone Girl. She explains it perfectly.
My dad: "You should wear cuter clothes, like your sister." Me: "To change shock absorbers?" ---- real convo, never left my memory. Like, wtf, is it silk or tulle for auto repair?
Look up the bechdel test, it's hilarious watching movies and seeing if they pass. Spoiler alert, mass majority don't.
It asks whether a work features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. The requirement that the two women must be named is sometimes added.
Tbh most of my what I thought were said so I'll say the 50 shades series (and there was woman involved if you can believe that)
Yeah, a woman wrote the original books. A woman who'd never done any of the things she wrote about, I assume.
She originally wrote the first book as a Twilight fan fiction story between Bella and Edward.

BDSM is not this way at all. You are not forced into anything. S**t pisses me off and put alot of women in dangerous situations. Safety is always 1st in any form of BDSM.
One of the best things I ever read about the "50 Shades" series (which I have never read) is that the only reason the man gets away with what he does is because he is handsome + a millionaire. If he were an unemployed, middle-aged man with a pot belly who lived in a trailer park, the book would never have been published.
Correct, it would be an episode of law and order: SVU. LOL

It was Twilight fan fiction that went too far. She was booted from forums because of it. Then decided to write the books
I feel like EL James decided to do some internet research to find out about S&M because of her own desires, never explored. Maybe she went to a kink club one time and then she just wrote what she thought was a fantasy, but was in fact nothing like an actual dom and sub relationship at all, which is CONSENSUAL.
Quick tip: Read this, and wow, now I doubly won't go near it. https://www.hypable.com/fifty-shades-of-grey-book-review/
Back when the book first had it's popularity I had some work colleagues who were obsessed over them and would giggle about them in the office all the time. I tried to tell them the exact same thing as that review and I was dismissed as frigid and stuck up. They would laugh and say "oh it's only a bit of light hearted fun!". It's depressing just how many people were enamoured by it and thought Christian Grey was a romantic hero.

If it’s degrading why is it so popular amongst women? Men aren’t driving the supply they are filling the demand, business 101
Am I the only woman who read the books, bad writing aside, that saw Anna as an intelligent woman who never let anyone tell her what to do?
as has been said. put Christian in a caravan in the woods and see how sexy and romantic it is
I read the books after seeing them in my grandparents' library at 14. (No, nobody knew). I loved them at first, and then started to NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE out of the series when I got a little older and a bit more mature.
Not emotionally intelligent books no matter the gender of the author. I couldn’t believe that ELJames was a mature adult woman.
People really overreacted to these books. The "kinky" stuff is less than half the book and then it's just them having normal sex so much you start asking the book itself if they're ever going to do anything else. Quite boring if you ask me.
Agreed. There were hints of kink, but no follow-through at all. Such a lady boner killer.

It was written by a woman and it was women who both bought the book and $560 million worth of tickets to the movies. I thought they were pieces of garbage but we shouldn't kink shame someone else's fantasies.
If they read it as a silly story, or maybe to get off - fine, we all have our guilty pleasures. But you just know there are people who took it as a manual on how women want to be treated in real life, and this part's scary.

It was an erotic story. It was porn (sorta.) This is like complaining pornhub is unrealistic. We know, and that's the whole point. Totally agree with the rest of this list, just pointing out that this wasn't meant to be a realistic movie/book
Not a movie (I know, sorry), but Breaking Bad. Love the series, but every female character is insufferable, and the way Skyler’s character is mishandled is particularly bothersome. She is written like a man’s idea of the nagging overbearing shrew of a wife, and is almost universally hated because of it. Meanwhile, I’ve never understood what exactly people wanted from her. A pregnant woman’s terminally ill husband starts acting shady as f**k...how else would anyone react in that situation? But instead of writing her very understandable suspicion with some depth, they basically said “Pfft. Wives are such a drag, amirite?”. And then she cheats.
This may seem a weird detail to fixate on, but I really hated that they had her smoking during her pregnancy. I assume the intention was to show how badly the situation was affecting her, but considering how unsympathetic they made her overall, it just further poisoned the audience against her.
Barbarella with Jane Fonda. She’s supposed to save the universe but is so helpless all the time and these men have to come and save her and more.
She’s a massive feminist now and has commented that it’s not her proudest work
Twilight
Wait, is twilight a serious book/movie?? You mean you actually have to take it seriously?? it is not like a parodie, a sattire, a bad joke or the bad example of "how not to" write or something??
There's a film known amongst folks who track down, "so bad it's good" movies (like The Room) called Samurai Cop. There are many, many things wrong with this movie (obviously) but the scene where a nurse flirts with the main character makes me wonder if the director had ever seen a woman flirt, ever.
Unpopular opinion but, Jenny in Forest Gump.
She's only written to move the male character along. She's reduced to her reproductive organs the entire time. It's annoying over done horrible crappy trope to use a woman being raped being murdered tortured giving birth etc only to make the male character seem deeper. Most of the time the woman has no lines and some movies she's just a picture or a flashback can't even see her face.
Lara Croft
The worse. She is not badass at all. She is an spoiled entitled brat making tantrums and iresponsibly destroying everything. (Yes, scowling a that terracotta warriors scene, it made me hate Angelina Jolie to this day). She is the average dumb male indiana jones, with big boobs, shorts, heavy make up, guns, big boobs and zero brain or empathy. Did I say big boobs?
I hate movies where women are portrayted as a 'sex' object...
The movie that features female characters but without a single woman involved: Jason Bourne (2016). Its target audiance is clearly men. But there are several female into it. It seems like at every explosion in the movie. There is a women flying into the air with a lot of blood involved.
Crank. That one scene where Jason Statham forces his girlfriend to have sex with him out in the street where everyone is watching and even though she VERY much objects, he just keeps going (because of the plot) and eventually she starts enjoying it. Like, what?
Although I love the series, Indiana Jones.
Pulp Fiction. Hate to say it.
Actually, I don’t. It’s for sure Pulp Fiction.
I don’t think that any of the characters are exactly realistic or unproblematic in Pulp Fiction, even characters who hardly have any screen time. They’re cliches and caricatures, that’s kind of the point though. Big fan of the film.

Im tired of rape in movies so sick of it. Watching the queens gambit and I was waiting for the horrific rape scene. Was so frigging happy when that did not happen. 62million people watched that show it just proves a well written female lead movie makes for great viewing too not just the same old stuff over and over.
It should never be a part of film. Hot take I know but there are certain crimes we do not show on film because it is too vile this should be one of them. And if it is it should never be a voyeur POV.

i hate the stereotype that the main female character denys that she likes the male main character the whole film then at the end the male character forcibly kisses her and the woman enjoys it! always pisses me off whenever i see it
Reminds me of the m.a.s.h. Tv show anytime “Hawkeye” would kiss Margaret “hot lips” they would drag it out while everyone looks away and when done Margaret has a dreamy look on her face and is all hot and ready for more til she is guided away from the area. It happens every time they kiss. Hawkeye forces it on her and she softens in his arms.

This is how we all need to analyse movies: the Bechdel Test. To assess if women have an actual purpose in a film: (1) it has to have at least two women in it, who (2) who talk to each other, about (3) something besides a man. When you watch films with these criteria, you find that at least 75% of Hollywood movies fail the Bechdel test.
What about the opposite of that? And if the main characters are guys, what would you think if it didn't have any women? But I see what you're saying for SOME

I agreed with a number of these but a lot are people just being idiots/calling out something popular to be eDgY.
This whole post is Karen Candy. Seriously. Don't like a movie, don't watch it. A lot of movies actually bring to light the true and real horrors that actually do exist in our world, as sick and twisted as they may be. The movies and shows mentioned here cleared millions and millions of dollars... The only thing I hate is when female actors are paid less due to being born with a inny instead of an outie. We live in a age in time where an actress can not only refuse a scene or a topic but they can and will run it through the media mill if their demand is denied.
This whole post isn't about how we hate that we've watched the movie with sexism in it. It's that we dislike that the movie exists in the first place. Media has glorified sexism. It's not showing us how it's wrong, it's showing us that treated women this sexist way is seductive and powerful and being sexy and wanted by a man is a woman's value. And yes women can refuse work, but a lot of these examples are from either older movies or movies that claim to give women respect but still aren't good enough. Nobody notices when a movie fails the bechdel test unless you bring up the test. Women are so used to being treated second best that we often don't see the inequality in front of us.

Women in movies just being there for decoration and getting away with horrible behavior because they’re pretty, which is why I absolutely hate Buttercup from “The Princess Bride”. She’s useless and insufferable. When she’s not being a stuck-up brat to Westley, she’s just moping around and waiting to be rescued while the men do all the work.
Quentin Tarantino is well known for a few things 1) Character Dialog 2) intense violence, usually up close and personal 3) homages to favorite movies/directors/actors 4) revenge for rape (he's done male rape too) or killing a loved one 5) foot and leg fetishism, honestly I think there's only 2 movies of his that don't have a close up shot of women's feet. Obviously the rape trope is used WAY too much in tv & movies. Male writers write female characters based on female characters they've grown up watching, leading to an unending cycle of misogynistic garbage. The only way to break free is for women to write/direct more films that become popular and that sadlt hasn't happened much yet.
That, though, requires wealthy men to give them money for those. Or wealthy women. Did you know Reese Witherspoon is producing and financing a lot of female writers and directors? I didn't until recently. But as long as its a male-dominated field, women have a tough time getting recognized for their work behind the scenes

So your suggestion would be that women have absolutely no roles in movies at all? Bc there aren't many women directors writers or producers either. Would you suggest women just give up all together and let men play the female parts of movies? Women only have so many opportunities in Hollywood it's run by old white men. Even when women make it big they can't get good roles and they age out at 40. What do you suggest since you know Better than the women?

Heres one character im sick off. The angry female blaming men for everything.
When the woman who has trained her entire life and has absurdly high skills teaches the male "chosen one" for about five minutes, and suddenly he is better than her at everything and she is totally fine being downgraded to silly arm candy.
Any of "The Women's Murder Club" books by James Patterson. Has he ever actually MET a woman? The writing was so stilted and ridiculous I couldn't read them. No women who have been friends for over 20 years (or 6 months, for that matter) speak with such a sense of detachment & formality.
Every single time there is a group of men and I see only one woman among them I roll my eyes so hard. I call it the "only girl in the group" trope. Every time I see a movie do that I look over to the person I'm watching with and I tell them "I bet she doesn't even get to interact with other women" It's annoying as hell. I also think to myself "why is she the only women? Why can't there be other women as well? Or at least one other?" Male writers tend to think that only having ONE woman is apparently "enough" of representation, as though they believe that every single woman is the same and we should all relate to this one and only woman. It's the same when writers put in one person of color in the group of white people. It's annoying as all hell. And for gods sake, let the female characters interact with each other and get along with each other and become friends and talk about things that have nothing to do with men. Please!
Mary Sue characters.. you can write good female lead, you dont need to make them totally without weaknesses. The new star wars with Daisy Ridley, she seems to automatically know everything and immediately be the best (nothing against the actor), Sigourney Weaver in Alien tho is badass lady
So- i'm totally fine with male leads being sexy and badass but i really prefer if the writers manage to extend the charCter-developement to their femal3 characters as well. And please - give the women SHOES! A very satisfying character on tv was dr elizabeth Weir on Stargate:Atlantis. Sadly, she didn't survive for long but she was great! (i do also think the two male leads were delightful but I'd have loved more elizabeth)
It gets better, but the first few seasons of NCIS. DiNozzo 'flirts' (if you can call it that) with a woman, who is annoyed at first but comes to like it as he persists. The writers must have realized it, because he got way better and eventually became one of my favorite characters. Marvel, especially those SUPER obvious 'girl power' moments in Infinity War and Endgame. Also, Captain Marvel was just Marvel patting themselves on the back for having a female main character. Any book/movie/whatever where either of them (but especially the girl) first falls in love because of physical attraction. Especially when he's a complete jerk but she's just like 'I can't stand him and he's so horrible to me, but I just can't stop being attracted to him' and they inevitably end up together.
She's totally underrated but I like Jennifer Connelly films (generally). Generally they are depressing as f**k and she is always super serious. She's one actress who can do a sex scene and you can come away from it grossed out rather than turned on because precisely the point of her films are to show how s**t people (and specifically men in some cases) are.
