Don't even get me started. I've read two stories in the past two days - N/E, actually - where Will got screwed over simply for being decent and acquiescent to Elizabeth and on top of it, the writer *justified* it as OK because Elizabeth was just too much woman for him. *eyeroll*
So, yeah, youth and ignorance are a big annoyance factor for me with the J/E crowd
I hope that's all it is, with these bad attitudes. Heaven knows there have to be older, more mature J/E fans who still treat Will well.
And yes, Elizabeth might just fade right into the background if we weren't reminded often enough that SHE IS A SEXUAL BEING IN CHARGE OF HER OWN MISS INDEPENDENT FUTURE, OMG. I've been an "independent woman" since I was 17 and I'm insulted that because I haven't tried to fuck a man into submission to my own ends (outside the bedroom) that I've somehow missed out on the feminist experience.
