taboo or outside the box for Willow?

[dragonyphoenix]

Okay, let's generalize this up a bit. What might WIllow consider to be, maybe not fully taboo, but outside her box? Oh, season 1 Willow. I want her to be breaking rules to expand her boundaries.

For example, I might have her try smoking. I'm starting with her not studying for a night, which she thinks will be easy because studying or not is her choice. *grin* What else do you think Willow might try? I'd prefer things I could make sort of amusing but any ideas would be wonderful.

It was more of a rhetorical question. *grin*

Oh, Goddess, yes the spacefrak. I'd forgotten the spacefrak. That was so idiotic. There was so much to hate that "season".

Keep reminding me of that. PLEASE. Bad, bad writing.

Re: boys will be boys. I once read a short story that referred to a universe where a woman had, I believe, shot a man in self-defense. It became famous over there and all the woman in that verse were self-confident and didn't have to put up with this shit. The basic idea of the story was a man, disguised as a woman, was recruiting a woman from our verse because "We don't have women like you." Every once in a while I think of it and really wish I lived in that verse.

And also, remember the Tailhook scandal. It was a huge scandal at the time and I now know people who've never even heard of it. I really wish I knew how to fix society.

I've been thinking about the Tailhook Scandal! Paula Coughlin, one of the whistleblowers and victims, ended up resigning from the Navy because the abuse got so bad. And people wonder why more folks don't speak up? It's not easy because of the culture we've created where abuse is quietly tolerated. The more things change....
