cozisaidso:This is why I no longer watch movies / read books made by males. This trope must die (pun intended). Hey! I just wanted to let you know about a book series called The Stormlight Archive by Brandob Sanderson.First I want to say I absolutely agree with this post, and I seriously cringe when reading most male-writren novels, but I cant tell you how much I have loved this series (not just) because of his ability to actually write female characters, but even with the classic tragic back stories, its not women dying, its true classic back stories. Its contents focus on differences in culture, racism, sexism, even xenophobia, all from a world very different from our own with different sets of rules that hilight how ridiculous our own prejudices are, all while being part of a thrilling and engaging storyline. Im actually re-reading the series now as the new book will release this November. I highly highly highly recommend giving this series a shot. (To be fair, i have noticed like, 1 weirdly sexist thing per book if I remember correctly, they are however HUGE books, so it is not without flaws, as most things are not, but overall it is absolutely incredible) -- source link
