AlterNet: MediaCulture: Seven Mistakes Superheroines Make

AlterNet: MediaCulture: Seven Mistakes Superheroines Make:

Good rules for Superheroines to follow. I myself shall be taking note ;P

"1. Do fight demons. Don't fight only inner demons.
2. Do play well with others. Don't shun human society.
3. Do exhibit self-control. Don't exhibit mental disorders.
4. Do wear trendy clothes. Don't wear fetish clothes.
5. Do embrace girl power. Don't cling to man hatred.
6. Do help hapless men. Don't try to kill your boyfriend.
7. Do toss off witty remarks. Don't look perpetually sullen.
In other words, it might be wise to sidestep Catwoman's decision to latch onto a female mentor who lives alone with three dozen cats and complains,
"I was a professor for 20 years, until I was denied tenure - male academia.- Or to follow her lead in shrinking from society, telling your beau, -You're a good man, Tom, but you live in a world that has no place for someone like me."
