Dude, they so can. It's one of the most irritating double standards that I hear from people and why I don't discuss my Star Wars love with people IRL because so many people will complain about Leia being "abrasive" (that's the most polite term they use) or whatever, which is like 1.)...yeah? So? and 2) Yeah, because Han is not abrasive AT ALL oh no. Like, they both are mean and loud and angry at each other, it is a precursor to their DYNAMITE SEXUAL TENSION OK. It's just such a double standard and it pisses me off.
