>>121065262>being an athletic girl is badI never said that.
>>having nuanced interests instead of being a one dimensional stereotype obviously means she hates herselfI never said that either, but she just as every other Peanuts character is undeniably insecure.
>a girl who marches to the beat of her own drum struggles with femininity because she's differentShe struggles with her feminity not because she's "different" but because she's literally shown throughout the comic strip to struggle with her femininity. There are many examples of this, but the gag where this is most obvious is the frequent gags that show her complete ignorance in stylizing her hair or the way she dresses, and how her inability to do this hurts her.
>if patty's mom didn't die she definitely would be loving and nurturingI didn't say that, but it should go without saying that a girl with only a father would be less womanly than a girl raised with a mother and a father.
>tomboyishness results from neglectPatty's dad does the absolute best he can, she is not suffering from neglect in any sense, but simply from a lack of guidance from a mother. Her turmoil over this is obvious unless you're dense and/or haven't actually read the comic strips.
