“I am sick of the girl being pretty once her glasses come off. I’m sick of the boy suddenly staring at her because she’s taken her hair out of a bun. I want a movie where the girl doesn’t get tamed. Where she’s still a badass bitch at the end of it. Where her freckles don’t get concealed on the big night. I want a movie where the queen bee is also a 4.0 GPA student. Where she wears makeup and styles her hair and gets her work done.
I want a movie where girls are art without having to be painted over. Where we are beautiful without reason, where we don’t need to prove ourselves as being worth a boy’s affections. I want a movie where we don’t have to be secretly fuckable in order to get a happy ending.”
