A Lana rant

Right, jacqui_hw has been discussing strong female characters with someone at work. A male someone. And he used Lana Lang as an example.

Uh, no. Excuse me while I rant about how Lana is so far from a strong female character.

It boils down to one simple thing. Lana Lang defines herself by her boyfriends. It's very obvious that she changes her personality from man to man that she has dated and she is seemingly incapable of going for more than a few episodes as a single woman. Without a boyfriend she is nothing

Whitney - When Lana dates Whitney she is a cheerleader. Perfect match for the football player. She dumps him by video message because she is too cowardly to do it face to face
Clark - Don't even get me started. I'll just reference her most recent arc where all her hardass training was just so that she could get superpowers to be with Clark
Jason - Well, since Lana spent most of her time with him possessed by a witch I'm not sure what I can say about this
Lex - Out of nowhere Lana decides to try and match Lex's intelligence by becoming an astrology major at college despite having no previous interest in the subject. Then she moves in with him and does nothing except 'learn how to be a Luthor'

I find it quite ironic that Lana for so much of the time complains about people treating her like a victim but really all she wants is for a nice strong man to take care of her.

I'm sure I've missed stuff. Join in and give me more evidence so I can bash this guy I don't even know over the head with it. LOL!

Woo!

New passport has arrived ready for France next month. YAYZ!

Also, jacqui_hw and I are going to see Simon Amstell in October

Also, also, I'm still trying to come up with a plot for my rpf_big_bang. Honestly, you'd think if you put Jared, Jensen, Tom, Michael and Misha in a room they'd do SOMETHING

More woos

My London Expo ticket has arrived! I was starting to worry

I signed up. Eep!

Ok, guys, I should know this but I am failing.

Rosenbaum is 6' tall, right? And Jared is 6'4 I think. How tall are Jensen, Misha and Tom?

This may or may not have some relevance to my fic *cough*

Anyone sick of these yet? LOL!

I do love that there seems to be J2 AU fics for every scenario imaginable. LOL. I did like this one though just because it's sweet

Heaven's Just A Sin Away
