Now you hear a lot about unrealistic beauty standards, but you don't hear nearly enough about the unrealistic personality standards that women have to live up to. Bingo. Every time you turn on the TV, you see women in films reacting stoically, controlling emotions, staying calm and high pressure situations. Doing math? Giving men the false impression that this is somehow what they should be expecting from a woman's personality. Whether that's Kristen Ritter not wanting to talk about her feelings in Jessica Jones or

Charlize Theron's short, concise, data-driven answers to questions in Mad Max, I don't think

these filmmakers realize or care about the harm they are doing by asking women to live up to

those unattainable, emotional, and storytelling ideals.

I had a friend come up to me recently complaining that his date took forever to get ready. They missed the previews. Then she started crying, as if this is some abnormal event. I had to grab the guy and say, Dave, I don't know what you saw and girl with a dragon tattoo, but this is what a woman looks like without having her personality airbrushed by Hollywood. That's why I so much appreciate what they are doing on the view.

Yes.

Personality, positivity, showing what a real woman looks like completely unshackled

from whether statistics or evidence even remotely lines up with the points they are making.

I want to also apply the makers of the view for just putting their raw,

undesirable personalities out there,

flaws in all, so men can see a realistic depiction of what to expect from a woman.

Oh, man.
