strong independent woman

A hostile, violent, and shallow female character based around what a cynical male writer thinks is "female empowerment". Such characters usually dress in some kind of fetish outfit and beat up a succession of men that leer, make snide remarks, or attempt rape. Despite being "independent", their arcs inevitably include constant angst over how they're not like other women and men just don't understand them.

The film of Barb Wire involves a woman that dresses like a prostitute and drops a man to a death by gigantic explosion for calling her "babe". Strong independent woman!

Independent Women

Paying your own bills doesn’t make you and independent woman, it makes you and average adult. So don’t expect to be praised for doing the exact same thing as everybody else.

You’re not an independent women you’re and average adult.

Independent Swag

Swagger not completely copied by what someone saw on tv and music videos. A very different hairstyle to simply the way someone laces their shoes, Clothing brands not a lot of people know about, underground music they listen to all adds up to that 'Independent Swag'

Your girl just wore what everyone told her to, my girl got that independent swag and dont need anyone to look good!

Independent bass player

Someone who is a granola-eating, hemp-wearing, pot-smoking, incense-burning vegetarian, who likes to quote Proust but doesn't really understand him, doesn't like movies but only likes "films", and will complain about the evils of capitalism but turn around and spend $500 on ugly glasses frames. Named after the bass player in a band who thinks himself better than the other members and doesn't really associate with them.

Oh, did you see that freak who ordered the gluten-free tofu stirfry? What an independent bass player.

Having no political affiliation; not a member of an organized political party.

I'm not a democrat, I'm not a republican. I'm an Independent.
