High School AU
Asbel's always known there was something different about himself compared to everyone else, but now that they're seniors its finally hit the point where he needs to be able to put a name to it so that he'll stop feeling broken. Unfortunately, coming out as aromantic and asexual isn't exactly easy when his brother is a pedant and a know-it-all who thinks amoeba jokes are funny and his childhood best friend would rather try to 'fix' him than accept that accept that her feelings aren't reciprocated.
Thankfully, Asbel's got his little sister Sophie and their friends Richard, Lambda, and Pascal in his corner. (And with a lot of patience, even Hubert and Cheria come around in the end.)

Summary
Just because a text features a woman who can beat the crap of anyone who says that she can’t does not mean that that text is inherently feminist. Furthermore, not all feminist texts feature a heroine who is physically strong or capable of beating up bad guys. On a related note, some texts that feature an ass-kicking heroine can still be labelled “sexist.”

Summary
A Link Between Worlds goes one step further than its predecessors in that it turns women into literal objects who not only need saving but also serve no function apart from being a “lovely” piece of property for men to fight over.

It's A Man's World: Implications of Makeup in Mass Effect by pontificating_goose (mrs_d)

Summary
Mass Effect sees a man as the default. Maybe the developers assumed everyone would play as male Shepard. Maybe they assumed that those playing as female Shepard were male and therefore they designed the character with the male gaze in mind. Maybe the male gaze is so pervasive that it never even crossed their minds that they were catering to it.

Summary
Bucky waved his hand. "If you hate the whole idea of this party so much, show it. Make a statement. Make it count. Subvert it. Get yourself a hero and go as the 'ho."
Steve groaned. "Can you imagine the response if I did that? This is Tony Stark. There's bound to be media coverage, legal and illegal. I can't show up in, in ripped stockings and shorts, Buck. I'm Captain America. There would be...backlash."
When Tony invites Steve to a themed charity costume party, Steve complains to his
crushfriend, Bucky Barnes, and ends up with both a date and a very, very bad idea. Featuring: Steve in high heels, manicures, gallons of mutual pining, sexual tension, and a healthy side of scathing social commentary.Series
