Gender Bender

Really though, they sound like malfunctioning Daleks haha! All the personal attacks are simply uncalled for. I don't know how they expect to be taken seriously when they sound like whining 6-year old children.

I imagine that it would really realign your perspective regarding the matter. Someday I want to be a father to a daughter as well (not solely so that I could put her though her own Long Night, but it's a huge factor) because I want to create a world where she grows up thinking that the only thing separating men from women is their anatomy.

Exactly! Carrie Mathison is way stronger than many of the male characters that came before her. Speaking of Homeland, I am nearing the finale (finally). Not to mention, they put a female president in place there. Some other characters that come to mind: Rey (from Star Wars), Lara Croft, Black Widow (from The Avengers). There has been a surge of strong females that are on par with their male equivalents. The fight for equality is stronger than ever.

Thanks for dropping those knowledge bombs, Boom-Meister! I appreciate your support :D

Boom boom!! Phew, I am glad you knew who she was (Carrie M)!!

Yeah there are stacks. They can come up with better ones than the males that currently exist!

It's quite the feeling I must admit being the father to a little girl. Suddenly you see the world as this huge place of seething injustice. T shirts for boys marketed with slogans like Dino Roar! Then the same style of t-shirt saint nails= hair= perfection or some such tosh. Makes me go all hulk'y and cross :0)

Haha! Yeah, of course! Heck, you even spoiled Quinn's fate to me a few months back :/

Awww man I wish when my turn comes it's a bit more balanced in terms of the merchandise. I can imagine the ones available for girls. I'm happy about the surge of kick-ass female role models for them to emulate!

Oh lord that's right!!!

There are good ones for girls. I got her a cracking skull one the other day. Thankfully the rubbish kind seem to be in a minority

The rubbish kind might as well be a thing of the past. Nowadays, I see little girls rocking superhero duds like their testosterone-filled equivalents. Equilibrium is truly upon us!

Yeehaw for equilibrium!!! :0D

Now if we could only convince people that this is the right path to take...

Maybe we should make them!!

Make them, we shall! Time to dust of the ol' baseball bat!
