| 'Stop portraying me as a housewife! Eat hot lead, mysoginists of the media!' |
As we have seen during some of my bladder-burstingly exciting lessons, 'the laydeez' often get a raw deal in TV and Movie roles, where they are often portrayed as weak and/or flawed in some way and best relegated to the kitchen and/or whorehouse, depending on which idiot/pervert is directing the production in question. In exam questions relating to this kind of stuff it is useful to have a few examples of women being cast in strong roles to balance the many examples to the the contrary. Hence my decision to post this link to an article about 'the next wave of celluloid superheroines'. Read it, chumps.
