Female Stoics / Women of Stoicism / Lady Stoics
Anime
Stoicism appears to be reserved for men in society, and especially in media. It's also the stereotypical behavior that people associate with men. And as nice as that sounds, we know that's not true. Men can be emotional, vulnerable, and much more, colorful than what meets the eye.
However, what about women? Can they be stoics? Of course!!!
This stack represents some of anime's well-known lady stoics, and some underground choices as well. (Based on anime I've watched.)
For the sake of argument, for me, stoicism is embodied when the character are not just indifferent to pain and pleasure and present herself as someone rational, they are also highly independent characters, nuanced, has "conquered their feelings", and chooses that their morals and values are the way to a happy life, whatever that means to them.
Feel free to tell me if I missed anyone or that someone in this list does not deserve to be a stoic. Arguments will be judged.
