W/S:What make's a Lady?

Today, I'd like to discuss the triangle of lady business that fiction writers base female characters on.

The first is the Maiden-Mother-Crone triumvirate. But what does that really mean?
There are a lot of characteristics that these three types of females exemplify, so for this post they aren't specific enough. The three characteristics we want are:

1)Attractive (Youth is considered an attractive quality. woman of middle age are considered unattractive)
2)Stupid (level of intelligence when compared to a man. Women of equal or higher intelligence aren't stupid)
3)Evil (Evil is measured in 2 ways. 1)Destructiveness, and 2) ability to do things that aren't in a males best interest.)

Let's take our first example:

 "Hi there! In classical fiction I get eaten by a witch in chapter three. Maybe i should learn how to remember my way home or that you shouldn't eat houses made of food that you stumble upon in the woods?"

The above young lady is pretty, and well, probably stupid, which means that she cannot be evil. She's more likely to be kidnapped, used as unicorn bait, or when she's older be found dead in the forest and have her corpse molested by a wandering prince she's never met before who will smooch her decaying flesh back to life. Princes love them some stupid hotties.

 

 "She's sexy and she knows it!"

Now, the next type of female is attractive and intelligent which means she is EVIL! She's gonna seduce your inheritance right outta your rich daddies man parts. She learned things you couldn't even imagine while travelling in the far east!!  She's your typical seductress. Why, you ask? Because men don't want a woman who's smarter than they are cause that would immasculate them and put the power in the woman's hands. Thus any woman smarter than you who you want to bone is evil and should be slain.

Now we come to the unattractive ladies.

They're either stupid and super evil. Also known as Harpies, Furies, Sirens, and Meanids. Here's evil translates to destructive potential. Pretty ladies don't destroy property.

Or intelligent and not evil. I like to call that "Grandma Syndrome".

Until next week!
