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!

Northern Independence Party

An unregistered pop-up political party who spend their days ranting on Twitter about how the Tories and Keir Starmer have ruined their beloved "Northumbria", so much that they have had to move to Brighton. They are one of the biggest examples of a Twitter bubble, as they seemed to think they could win the Hartlepool by-election but ended up coming 8th with 250 votes (or 0.8% of the vote). They then proceeded to have a rant at the Yorkshire Party who received 9.7% of the vote in the West Yorkshire mayoral election. They also still cry about Corbyn losing in 2019.

Anyone heard of the Northern Independence Party?
