It's also terrible that the few pieces of media that DO feature strong women who kick ass on their own behalf, is that this is almost exclusively used as wankbait, and they MUST MUST MUST be depicted as uniquely vulnerable in some other way. YOU SURE DID A GREAT JOB KICKING THE ASSES OF THOSE BANK ROBBERS, LADY COP, BUT NOW YOUR KID IS SICK SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN INTERLUDE WHERE YOU'RE A COMPLETE SCATTERBRAIN BECAUSE YOU CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR VAGINA-BRAIN GOING ALL SHITTY BECAUSE THERE'S A KID or YOU SINGLE-HANDEDLY RUINED THEM THERE TERRORISTS IN WAYS THAT NOBODY WILL EVER FORGET, BUT YOU HAD A BLIND DATE THAT DIDN'T GO WELL SO IT'S A PINT OF ICE CREAM AND SOBBING ON THE SOFA FOR YOU
It's crap, pure and simple. And when media attempts to buck the trend, holy HELL do the neckbeards freak out. Remember when they tried to give Wonder Woman pants? SO MUCH RAGE
