Female characters in the movie were depicted as being cleaver, funny, sharp, and independent women; which adheres to feministic beliefs of what women should be like. The film depicted Juno’s character as a confident and intelligent teenage girl, which broke the stereotype of raging, hormonal,and image-obsessed teenage girls that is so prevalent in movies today. Her character is unlike that of any other teenage girl from any movie that I’ve ever seen. She is strong, honest, confident, cleaver, funny, charming, and frank, while still managing to maintain her femininity.
The movie also portrayed Vanessa as a stereotypical feminist. She was an intelligent, strong-willed, and career-minded woman; and the film’s positive depiction of her and Juno's characters inadvertently expressed support for femininity.
In addition to it's positive portrayal of femininity via strong female characters, Juno also expressed support for femininity by depicting feminine ideology throughout the movie, specifically the belief that a single women could successfully raise a child without any help from any men, and the belief that women should have the right to choose what they want to do with their own bodies regarding abortion.
