Topic on Talk:Femme Fatale

"It's an interesting contrast -- a precocious girl is damaged or a danger, a precocious boy is to be celebrated."

And neither should be celebrated - the only reason the trope is written that way is because of the societal bias where all boys are expected to be """ladykillers""" and perform accordingly from unreasonably young ages. Men and other people "read" as masculine who are abuse victims tend to not be taken 'seriously' for this among various other reasons - those who were abused as minors even less so.

To put it shortly, regardless of what's done with the Fatale tropes, I absolutely support a Kidanova rewrite that removes those, but at least discusses the reasoning and rationales that can lead to that mindsets.
