The theory explains the trope.
- dragonwriter 9y agoPatriarchy plus the romanticization of what is outside the norm explains the trope and is, in fact, the explanation I've usually seen for it from actual feminists. “Oppression grants women deep insight” seems closer to a gender-based version of the “noble savage” concept than anything feminist I've seen. Still waiting for actual feminist theory sources for the “theory” in question.
