The frequency of heterosocial friends versus female friends is particularly troubling because it depicts the avenging woman as only being able to count on a man (or men, collectively). In order to be strong, she can rely heavily on male support, both physically and emotionally, but other women are not to be trusted in these representations. With so many media narratives centered on the fragility of female friendships, the continued representation of a strong woman as a guy’s girl is both disappointing and unrealistic.
