Summary: In today's episode we look at the argument that having a romance somehow degrades female heroes or female main characters. Spoiler alert: we disagree. We discuss how a romantic arc with Kylo Ren would enhance Rey's story, and disagree with criticism that a romance would detract from her heroine's journey. Towards the end we talk a little bit about female superheroes and discuss Patty Jenkins' amazing quote about romance for female heroes. **You can watch the video version of this episode in our YouTube page: https://youtu.be/Xy8Mp8LfqXE REFERENCES: Harry Harlow https://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Harlow...
