Lucky Girl - Completed

I totally get where you're coming from, and that makes a lot of sense to me. I suppose this is one of those things that'd be worth re-examining if I were to ever to a second draft of this story. The idea grew from a desire to stir up some conflict between her and Dean, but I didn't really think a lot about how someone in her exact circumstance likely would engage with criticism realistically. I suppose judging by all the stuff I've laid out about her already it's a bit random that she's not open to any critisism.

Empathy towards Marian is warranted, as she is a victim of the same things, she's just compliant in them. She certainly has done the most for Evie, and without her things would be so much worse off. Yes, if she wanted to really make a difference she likely would do that, but I can't see any of the men being very open to a conversation about sexism, unfortunately :sweat_smile:

It's really helpful to discuss these things, I feel it really helps to improve my writing and reminds me to think more about every aspect of the story as I'm writing it, so thanks for leaving such thoughtful responses <3
