There has been alot of complaint about women being depowered and injured, but men have that happen just as often. I adore Wonder Woman. Especially in the Justice League cartoon.

Go comic book women, and women who love comics.

Ha, I mentioned that class to John and he said Blaise always had something interesting to tell him after that class. I’m sure it was…an experience. I’m all for equal rights and chivalry in unity together.

And yes, we be geeks. Next post up tomorrow morning!

I’ve never understood the complaints about comic book women. Yes the vintage 40′s war comics have Lois Lane screaming a lot, but the Wonder Women comics still portrayed her as a strong minded individual who had her own self definition. Her costume is no more revealing than the bathing beauties that appeared in all sorts of advertising, and when in an effort to be PC and all that, wonder woman’s powers were revoked, a whole lot of bother was kicked up and she was repowered within the decade, showing rather a fondness for the Amazonian, I think.

I’m thinking back to the pre-rehersal dinner lunch conversation we and the rest of the rainbow had in the mall of america. Six smart, independent women with a strong enough self image that well, let’s just say known of us are what you’d call wishy washy. And I’m pretty sure that every member of the rainbow rather adores any number of comics, from Bone to Fruits Basket to X-men.

While I do respect feminism for some of the freedoms it grants, to the benefits of all, like female suffrage and my right to enter whatever profession in which I can prove myself worthy, I must admit I find intense agendas um… awkward, and they make me want to argue in favor of tradition. Note the poor grades I received in Women in America (basically didn’t drop that course because it was fun to sit next to Blaise and be entertained by his doodles and snide comments. I liked the subject matter, but disliked the professor…)

Very good blog. I can think of at least two wide encompassing definitions of a geek- anyone who would be up for a firefly marathon, or anyone who has watched more than five movies more than five times in the last five years.
