FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME.*

So I was adding some new interests to my LJ profile (because I, uh... have some new interests. Yes.) and found myself feeling defensive every time I typed a female name, thinking, basically, FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME, because I felt as if someone somewhere was going to be criticizing my love for them.

So, anyway, then I made a list of women who make me want to say FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME. They are far from the only women who are awesome, or the only women people need to be told to step off of, but they are the top ten I feel that way about, right now, off the top of my head.

If you want to argue with me about the awesomeness of any of these women, I am afraid I will simply be referring you to the subject line. THAT IS ALL.

FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME:

Jamia Nestor
Donna Noble
Alicia Simmons
Gwen Cooper
Lindsay Monroe
Lyn-Z
Toshiko Sato
Ashlee Simpson
Martha Jones
Samantha Carter

So! Tell me who's awesome in your book! Post your own list if you like! FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME!


* Credit for my compulsive use of the phrase "FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME" to articulate this emotion belongs to [info]sinsense and Bend Over Boyfriend, possibly the first great Frank/Jamia pegging story. \o/

Oh my freaking Goddess, I need to do this.

Off the top of my pointy little head:

Stephanie Brown
Barbara Gordon
Rosie Cotton
Arwen Undomiel
Amita Ramanujan
Martha Jones
Samantha Carter
Wonder Woman

I'd put Megan Reeves on here, but nobody denies her awesomeness.

Some real people:
Anita Hill
Nancy Pelosi
Oprah Winfrey
The Dixie Chicks

Yes, yes, yay! AWESOMENESS ABOUNDS! And there were a handful I considered, too, and then realized I'm pretty confident that everyone recognizes their awesomeness.

I, uh... pretty evenly mixed the real ladies with the fictional ones, there. My fourth wall, it is very, very thin. :)

Word.

Also? Rose is awesome. (and somehow I still don't have an icon.)

[info]dsudis

April 9 2008, 04:11:15 UTC 4 years ago

Rose is SO UTTERLY AWESOME. I just figured I didn't actually need to yell at anyone about that. :)

The icon you do have is pretty sweet, though... *g*

She SO VERY IS.

Hmmm, I need a Tosh icon...

It came as a major relief to realize that some of those names were fictional and that I didn't have to figure out which band they were associated with.

Have you seen the recent picture of Alicia that is circulating? Phwoar, but she's really, really lovely.

[info]dsudis

April 9 2008, 04:28:57 UTC 4 years ago

Ha, yes! I probably should have demarcated that in some way--Donna, Martha, Gwen, Tosh, Lindsay, Martha, and Sam are all fictional. :)

And, no, I do not believe I have seen new photos of Alicia in quite some time!

I actually did one of these lists a while back, over here.

Bandom-wise, it's Jamia and Lyn-z for me ALL THE WAY, with a side of VickyT. This fandom has AWESOME women, that's for damn sure.

[info]dsudis

April 9 2008, 10:51:04 UTC 4 years ago

I thought about including VickyT, but everyone seems pretty clear on how awesome she is. OR AT LEAST THEY'D BETTER BE.

[info]fairestcat

April 9 2008, 05:12:02 UTC 4 years ago

I posted my list

Elizabeth Swann-Turner
Elizabeth Weir
Jamia Nestor
Alicia Simmons
Samantha Carter
Gwen Cooper
Toshiko Sato
Martha Jones
Rose Tyler
Elli Quinn

But I could have gone on and on and on. Choosing only ten was HARD.

[info]dsudis

April 9 2008, 10:52:05 UTC 4 years ago

Yaaaaaaaaaay! \o/

And, sorry to impose an arbitrary limit. I mostly said ten because I'd made a list and there happened to be ten women on it when I stopped to count. :)

I would add:
