Very true, being a kickass alone makes you a tough girl who is able to take care of herself, but feminism is also about supporting our sex, just like being a manhater or hating on women who show confidence in their femininity is not at all a fight for equality! I think, a central facet of feminism is about defending equality, e.g. defending those who are unable to defend themselves (women and also men)! So, as healthy and inspirational as Brooke's character development on one Tree Hill turns out, I wouldn't call her the epitome of a feminist.
I love how Maeve is unapologetically herself, yet capable of showing her flaws and weakness despite how tough she appears. She is the best feminist icon to start the 2020's
This is how women should be portrayed in media (TV, movies, novels, comics and manga). Down with the sweet, innocent, naive, clumsy, talentless, defenseless airheads who need to be total damsels in distress to be attractive. Go for women who are strong, independent, fierce and beautiful (not just physically)!
MY TOP 😋💋💋💋 : 1) Brooke Davis (One Tree Hill) 2) Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) 3) Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf) 4) Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars) 5) Spencer Hastings (Pretty Little Liars) 6) Jen Lindley (Dawson's Creek) 7) Izzy Lightwood (Shadowhunters) 8) Bonnie Bennett (The Vampire Diaries)
Precisely, she's a character who I didn't expect to love as much as I do. She also helps to empower her best friend Aimee after her traumatic experience later on in the show.💖
My first thought is Emma Nelson So Emma wasn’t even an honorable mention? The episode where she got her period for the first time really made me comfortable with mine. Nothing to be ashamed of.
SodaSiren and back then Emma Nelson was viewed like an unlikeable person who was labeled selfish, cruel & whiny nowadays people like her get crazy praise
Why is there no mention of max mayfield from stranger things, she is not just a badass she is very different from how girls of the 1980’s were, she played video games, skateboarded, and was not looking for a boy but only took the chance when it was given to her. She deserves a least an honorable mention.
There are ONLY 10 movies form that period. It's not a top 10, it is ranking them from first to last (Or vice versa) It would be like doing the top 10 mario kart games... oh wait they did, and even used the non Nintendo licensed mario kart arcade games to get 10. It would be like doing top 10 seasons of friends (only 10 seasons)
I’m almost positive they did something like this on watchmojo where they teamed up with another RUclips channel and put all the movies from the Renaissance in order.
@@Kessaralee Pretty sure they are trolling. I am completely neutral with feminism, I want equality for both parts. And due to some extreme feminists, I assume that destroyed the respect for feminism in that person's eyes.
@Independence In Mind yeah they defineity dont have equality. Still payed less and still abused/sexually assaulted more, mens altitude still needs working on
Charlotte and Addison from Private Practice but that's not necessarily a teen show. And Miranda Bailey from Greys Anatomy. Again, not teen shows but still!
I knew Buffy was gonna be top 1. Also, not really a teen drama or even a show, but my favorite portray of feminism is Diana on Wonder Woman and both Frozen sisters.
Just a thought, I wrote this somewhere else already: This is a great category and a nice list, anyhow being a kickass alone "only" (big quotation mark!) makes you a tough girl who is able to take care of herself. But actually, feminism is also about supporting our sex, just like being a manhater or hating on women who show confidence in their femininity isn't at all a fight for equality or self-determination! If you ask me, a central facet of feminism is about defending equality, e.g. defending those who are unable to defend themselves (women of course, but it might as well be men)! And in that regard, my personal number one on this list would be Veronica Mars! How bout you?
You guys forgot Jessie Spano from "Saved by the Bell" and Andrea Zuckerman from "Beverly Hills 90210". Those two should've gotten at least an honorable mention.
I really think this title needs to be changed. It makes it seem like only female characters can be feminist, when in fact anyone, regardless of gender, can be feminist - and we should be encouraging everyone, regardless of gender, to stop being embarrassed to declare they are feminists. Please make your next video about the actual "Top 10 Feminist Characters in Teen Shows" - regardless of the gender of the character.
You missed the women from Lipstick Jungle. Although the show only lasted like 2 seasons, the women were powerful. I also expected to see Olivia Pope (Scandal)
It is just me or most of these characters are stereotyped??? Like wether you're a lesbian or are a rebel against society standars and sterotypes (oh the irony) or you are single and you need no man to be happy or you just kick male asses to be a feminist role model. I think that you can be as much of a woman not having a husband nor raising children as much as being a feminist and wanting to have a family and still be a working woman. You get to believe in love and princes and still be a feminist. Suppossedly, being a feminist means that you believe that both men and women should have the same right to be free and to pursuit anything in life that makes you happy and not only that, it means same opportunities for both. To be a feminist you don't need to hate men or behave like a man. Why do Hollywood sterotypes of strong women have to be with the same characteristics we see in a man???? Why a feminist has to be someone who doesn't date and "defies" beauty and fashion standars?????
Sabrina should have been in top 10, not just honourable mentions. What about Sara Lance from Arrow verse, Rebekah from The Originals and Big Little Lies women
Witches actually embody the complete opposite of feminism. It was a literal demonization of women who didn't conform to the social norm of the time. Similarly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer may have some feminist traits/actions, but the she is what Susan J. Douglas called "enlightened sexism." She's physically violent and badass, BUT in order to be so she has to be extremely feminine to make up for this "masculine" trait. Hence the consistent boy-talk and gossip. If she were truly feminist she would be able to be physically badass and talk about boys/gossip, but ALSO talk about things that don't involve men. After all, Women don't talk about boys non-stop.
Where is Fallon Carrington?? I mean she’s the most feminist character I’ve recently watched. She’s fighting for her own Dynasty. She even had Femperial - book publishing company who publishes book about Women.
Just because a female character is badass doesn’t mean she’s a feminist.
Very true, being a kickass alone makes you a tough girl who is able to take care of herself, but feminism is also about supporting our sex, just like being a manhater or hating on women who show confidence in their femininity is not at all a fight for equality!

Exactly!!!
@@NiVi192 and Maeve and Maya from Degrassi
@TheRapper10000 sjw?
Oh gawd just STFU
"We are not talking about badass female characters" she really hit the nail there
Me: *sees Maeve Wiley*
Instant click
Me too, Maeve is SUCH a feminist icon! 💜
Same
Same bruh she a badass girl 🖤
periodt
Anne FREAKIN Shirley 👏👏👏
YES!!!!
I love how Maeve is unapologetically herself, yet capable of showing her flaws and weakness despite how tough she appears. She is the best feminist icon to start the 2020's
You know what your really right there she is someone who inspires people for real robot and human a like she should have been on here
Personally, my favorite Elena quote is "It's always "Girls, don't dress provocatively" "Girls, don't walk alone" How about "Hey guys, don't rape"?
I was gonna say where’s Blair Waldorf at cuz she’s the strongest girl ever but she was always fighting with other girls and bullying them 💀💀
Blair is one of the least feminist characters on TV. And I honestly don't understand why people like her so much, she is awful to basically everyone.
She was chuck bass’s slave
@Stella Star I've never thought about it that way but it makes total sense.
This is how women should be portrayed in media (TV, movies, novels, comics and manga). Down with the sweet, innocent, naive, clumsy, talentless, defenseless airheads who need to be total damsels in distress to be attractive. Go for women who are strong, independent, fierce and beautiful (not just physically)!
MY TOP 😋💋💋💋 :
1) Brooke Davis (One Tree Hill)
2) Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
3) Lydia Martin (Teen Wolf)
4) Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
5) Spencer Hastings (Pretty Little Liars)
6) Jen Lindley (Dawson's Creek)
7) Izzy Lightwood (Shadowhunters)
8) Bonnie Bennett (The Vampire Diaries)
All great choices but I would add more one of the women from the 100
Jacob Denness Thank you for your comment 😘
And Who is it?)
Your welcome 😊 probably Clarke but I also think Octavia would be a great choice.
Buffy Summers as No 1? Can I get a hell to the YES
Buffy at #1? Good job Msmojo. Also, thank you for adding Maeve, Bonnie, Brooke, Lydia, and Izzy on this list.
Shoutout to Noora Sætre
Should be the true number one
I haven’t watched yet, but if Brooke Davis isn’t on this list, I’m starting a fire
Lydia Martin deserves some credit too!!
Maeve ❤❤
What a badass character 👏
Very well written.
Precisely, she's a character who I didn't expect to love as much as I do. She also helps to empower her best friend Aimee after her traumatic experience later on in the show.💖
Yasss i'm not the only one who's under 18 and watches sex education
I was hoping to see Emma Nelson from "Degrassi: The Next Generation" on this countdown.
Justin Jay C. She’s the first character I thought of when I saw this list.
Justin Jay C. She is the original SJW
How is Sabrina just a honourable mention!
Melia Wolf ikr. She is literally the definition of a feminist female
She would fight for her self, not for others. Rozz is much more of a femenist
Brooke Davis & Lydia Martin are my favorites!
I'm sorry but Donna over the last few seasons has pushed aside her feminism along with her dream of being a writer just to stay with Eric.
Yeah! I always felt the writers didn't stay true to the character.
Ok, I'm old but what about Jessie Spano from Saved by the bell?
Right? She definitely should have been on here.
Because she was slightly better than Marcy Darcy?
My first thought is Emma Nelson
So Emma wasn’t even an honorable mention?
The episode where she got her period for the first time really made me comfortable with mine. Nothing to be ashamed of.
SodaSiren I know she I thought would be #1
SodaSiren and back then Emma Nelson was viewed like an unlikeable person who was labeled selfish, cruel & whiny nowadays people like her get crazy praise

You should do a top 10 feminist men in tv shows list. (ie. Jake Peralta, Ben Wyatt, Otis Milburn, etc.)
Where are the Halliwell sisters? (Charmed?)
My friend is reading Anne of green gables
I hate when people think feminists are automatically annoying. Like yeah some things they do are annoying, but we have them for a friggin reason.
Number one has to be The Slayer.
maeve is a fictional character EVERYONE can learn from
YEAHHH
Hi it would be really great if you did top ten Disney movies from the renaissance period(1989-99) btw I love your videos please notice me !! xxx
There are ONLY 10 movies form that period. It's not a top 10, it is ranking them from first to last (Or vice versa)
It would be like doing the top 10 mario kart games... oh wait they did, and even used the non Nintendo licensed mario kart arcade games to get 10. It would be like doing top 10 seasons of friends (only 10 seasons)
Watch mojo has a website that you can suggest topics to and then vote on. That is how almost all their videos come about
I’m almost positive they did something like this on watchmojo where they teamed up with another RUclips channel and put all the movies from the Renaissance in order.
Bonnie WAS a feminist, until she nearly killed herself for a man
newxromantic no she was bad ass
Buffy and Maeve.....my past and present favorite feminists😎
The future is feminism
Indeed it is, I love how these women are subverting the expectations set on them by society, and don't have to wait on a guy to save them!👏❤
Independence In Mind how so?
@@Kessaralee Pretty sure they are trolling. I am completely neutral with feminism, I want equality for both parts.
And due to some extreme feminists, I assume that destroyed the respect for feminism in that person's eyes.
Independence In Mind we always gonna need feminism
@Independence In Mind yeah they defineity dont have equality. Still payed less and still abused/sexually assaulted more, mens altitude still needs working on
Where is Caroline from the vampire diaries
I love Maeve
Likewise, she's such an edgy, yet inspiring feminist icon!💗
Wanting to date boys/men is not an inherently feminine quality. But I like the video.
Yeah it's more saying there's nothing wrong with wanting to have sex ect but not all feminists even want to have relationships
Is anything inherently feminine really? They meant conventionally feminine.
Where's Emma Nelson from Degrassi: The Next Generation?
Gabriela Mallo I know right?
Gabriela Mallo thank uuuuuu
Charlotte and Addison from Private Practice but that's not necessarily a teen show. And Miranda Bailey from Greys Anatomy. Again, not teen shows but still!
Miranda Bailey would approve this meassage😉
glad Spencer Hastings got an honorable mention, but also surprised Jessie Spanno ( Saved By The Bell ) didn't...
I'd love to see a list of celebrity mama's boys and daddy's girls!!! Who's with me?
I think that would be a fun list
"Are you a feminist?"
Jordan Peterson-"Not as its currently defined, no"
I’m sorry, but Donna was such a “I’m not like other girls!!!!” girl and those are some of the feminists that give others a bad name
One day, a Yu-Gi-Oh female main protagonist will be given life.
Eyyyyyyy.... Anne with an E is already took noticed by ms mojo... well done 😂😊😊
BUFFY 🤩 as expected
I don’t see Miss Brittany S Pierce 😂😂😂 I mean she was a big feminist during school election weeks
I knew Buffy was gonna be top 1.
Also, not really a teen drama or even a show, but my favorite portray of feminism is Diana on Wonder Woman and both Frozen sisters.
Noora Sætre should’ve been on the list
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING BONNIE SOME LOVE❤️ She’s the most underrated character ever
Isabelle Lightwood from Shadowhunters is one of my favorite characters EVER! I found her SUPER relatable!
Couldn't be anyone else at number 1. Veronica Mars was also a shoe-in for this list, and happy to see Jen Lindley get some love.
Happy to see Veronica Mars in the top 🤩
Please do part 2??????
Buffy at number 1 was obvious.
Love how they introduced Maeve in this video by having her punch a guy in the stomach, really shows their true feminist ideals.
it made me so happy to see elena alvarez on this list 🖤
Wow, you forgot BETTY!! FROM RIVERDALE!!!!..... She even went all dark.. Whew she was awesome
So glad to see some Degrassi and shadowhunters represents in this category. Totally deserve it
''Veronica isn't perfect'' No she isn't but in season 4 she honestly became unbearable.
Just a thought, I wrote this somewhere else already: This is a great category and a nice list, anyhow being a kickass alone "only" (big quotation mark!) makes you a tough girl who is able to take care of herself.

And in that regard, my personal number one on this list would be Veronica Mars! How bout you?
No love for Emma Nelson of Degrassi??
CutterHistorical exactly
No Blair Waldorf???
She was faaar away from feminism
She was dynamic but not feminist
"The Vampire Diaries" Strong Independent Witches
Wtf? Jessica from Thirteen reasons places above Maeve? What are you on?
I was so hyped when I realized most of my suggestions from when they asked were here
I am glad Degrassi is here
charmed sisters
All the way through I was like Buffy number one, Buffy number one. Yes
The Blair Witch is a strong independent woman
Xena:Warrior Princess?
Good list!!
Where is Annalise Keating and Naomi Scott
100% agree with this list!!!
How did ik Buffy was number 1 in dis list😍😍😍yasss
You guys forgot Jessie Spano from "Saved by the Bell" and Andrea Zuckerman from "Beverly Hills 90210". Those two should've gotten at least an honorable mention.
Yall forgot Madame C.J walker from Self-Made
I really think this title needs to be changed. It makes it seem like only female characters can be feminist, when in fact anyone, regardless of gender, can be feminist - and we should be encouraging everyone, regardless of gender, to stop being embarrassed to declare they are feminists.
Please make your next video about the actual "Top 10 Feminist Characters in Teen Shows" - regardless of the gender of the character.
Who are these male feminists in teen shows?
Please do Top 10 Songs From The Loud House! 🎵🎶
You missed the women from Lipstick Jungle. Although the show only lasted like 2 seasons, the women were powerful.
I also expected to see Olivia Pope (Scandal)
Great list.
Buffy Summers deserves that top spot
Elena Alvarez is my kween!!
Quinn Fabray from Glee should also be on this list
It is just me or most of these characters are stereotyped???
Like wether you're a lesbian or are a rebel against society standars and sterotypes (oh the irony) or you are single and you need no man to be happy or you just kick male asses to be a feminist role model.

Why a feminist has to be someone who doesn't date and "defies" beauty and fashion standars?????
Hallo Big littles lies, The Handmaids Tale, Wonderfull Mrs Maisel
Please do top 10 cartoons that need to spawn a franchise.
Sabrina should have been in top 10, not just honourable mentions. What about Sara Lance from Arrow verse, Rebekah from The Originals and Big Little Lies women
Anne is my queen ♡
Sabrina Spellman is an HONORABLE MENTION!?!
Noora from SKAM?
No Gert from Runaways? She had strong feminist beliefs
Annalise Keating or Meredith Grey?
Witches actually embody the complete opposite of feminism. It was a literal demonization of women who didn't conform to the social norm of the time. Similarly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer may have some feminist traits/actions, but the she is what Susan J. Douglas called "enlightened sexism."

Wynonna Earp, Rayanne from My So-Called Life, and I'm a huge fan of Buffy, but I think Willow is often waaay more feminist than Buffy
Where is Fallon Carrington?? I mean she’s the most feminist character I’ve recently watched. She’s fighting for her own Dynasty. She even had Femperial - book publishing company who publishes book about Women.
Jessica Davis? What?
Can you just write all the shows-list in the description, please?
Emma Nelson?????
Miranda yeah
Buffy! 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
YAAAAAS QUEEEEENS!!!! OMG IM SO EMPOWERED!!!!
I'll now diy my armpit hair blue!
Maeve Wiles at #8?!?!?!? BLASPHEMY!!!!
Buffy, Bonnie, Izzy 😀👍, and i think that a least one girl of Riverdale deserves a mention a least (Betty)
