I've loved Jennifer Lawrence since before she fixed her bangs and started tripping on everything and anyone on the red carpet. Pull yourself together, Jennifer. But also don't, because you're adorable.

So after I saw the final "Mockingjay" movie, I walked out of the theater flushed with a newfound appreciation for small babies and calm meadows, confident that nothing could bring me down.

That is, until the nonbelievers crawled out of their holes of self-misery and said, "What a disappointing ending. That was so un-feminist of Katniss to settle down and have babies like that."

Excuse me? Hold me back, boys, because s*it's about to go down.

First of all, let me break down this forced concept that every female protagonist has to be aggressively feminist. Feminist with a capital F. Feminist implying that independence and asexuality are constantly radiating from her unshaved armpits. Feminist implying that choosing to have a family means selling herself as a child-bearing slave to a horny and dominating man-child. Feminist implying that a male interest or any form of male companionship weakens her.

OK, maybe that dumb floral dress she was wearing at the end was really out of character, but people change. Maybe after having two toaster-sized children pop out of her perfectly toned body persuaded her to quit with the leather pants. Katniss is practical, and if a dress gives her optimal mobility, so be it.

Back to the situation.

There's a huge double standard in the media, especially regarding role models for children. Let's compare this book-to-film set to another we know all too well: the "Harry Potter" series.

Pretty similar plot: A group of friends band together to defeat a big scary enemy. Only, in the final chapter of "The Deathly Hallows," how heroic and noble was Harry for settling down with the love of his life, Ginny, and giving his children ungodly names for the sake of nostalgia! So heroic. So noble. I'd bet real-life poor-college-student money that not a single fan pouted after the ending and went, "Ugh, so un-feminist of Harry, getting hitched and all that."

See what I mean? How can you say that a woman's only Feminist-with-a-capital-F options in life are to be a strong independent woman who don't need no man?

Is Katniss a feminist? Who cares.

Should she have kids with Peeta and end her career as a crime-fighting, Capital-provoking, arrow-slinging hero? She can do whatever she damn well pleases.
