Betty and Veronica through a feminist lens.

poptates:

do you think Betty and Ronnie are good female role models, or do you think they perpetuate negative gender stereotypes? please share your opinions, it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately?

When the lovely Archie themed blog, Poptates, posed this question to the Archie blogging community, I thought it was about time I write this piece. I’ve been musing over this question for quite some time, but especially since starting [Alt] Archie two years ago. image

I am not only going to critique them as feminist role models, but I am going to give evidence to a radical theory: Betty and Veronica’s relationship with Archie is not about Archie at all. It’s about the nature of their own friendship.

Archie Comics pushes the envelope again. I was skeptical about all these changes at first, but I’m really excited for them! As long as they weren’t going to be ridiculous, unreal and over the top I was cool with it. I guess this proves Archie Comics can do no wrong.
