What the writers and cast [of the 100] are doing exceptionally well is portraying real women. This show isn’t afraid to show and deal with emotions. Mass media has had this overwhelming idea to shove emotions to the side and label them as “feminine.” These characters bare what they’re feeling in the open. They never apologize for what they’re feeling. Real women feel. Real women suffer. Real women are flawed. Real women get scared and make mistakes. And what really ties them all together is that they do everything for the ones they love. ↪ excerpts from Why You Should Be Watching ‘The 100’ - For Its Leading Ladies
