I liked @mikarala’s take on it. It gives some perspective.

I don’t think it would fly in today’s culture. Though, I just realised that Lizzie also had relationships with Jane and Charlotte which were founded on mutual respect, so it’s probably more complicated than that.

I’m not like other girls behaviour is something that we grow out of at some point :) she would have been slightly boring if we were all praise for Lizzie all the time.
