At least when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s both boys and girls read the books and watched the movies with Pippi.

I agree that Hollywood is a blight on the cultural landscape, and you basically have to disregard their movies if you want to find something deeper than a puddle, with exceptions few and far between

I saw that as parental instinct since protection of young are not gender coded, but you can read it as maternal for sure as a mirror to the Queens hatred after the egg burning

Ellen Ripley's gender doesn't matter until Resurrection, which isn't the highlight of the movie.

A lot of media have strong female characters but their gender or sex does matter for the story so can't easily be replaced

Susan in the book Soul Music (plus some others) as well as the Witches, Tiffany Achings and more from Pratchett

Death from Sandman (even though the author is very controversial, but you could check the books out from sources that doesn't give him a kick back)

Was a long time since I read them but the Polgara books feature a strong female protagonist

We got classic youth/kids media that shows strong female characters even if some stuff are coloured by weird takes (Such as Xander Harris): Xena, Buffy and Pippi Longstockings

Farewell is one of the only board wipes that can be as damaging as mass land destruction since it exiles both the board and GYs

I very much prefer CO2 in my drinks, some other carbon captures get you CO and I've heard that's not as good as a drink carbonator

Dr. Doom vs Chthon would be fun

That's a very gynocentric view the authors take, I agree

Is it the "Letter from Birmingham Jail" you are referring to? If so I'll read it t tonight after work.

I've basically only seen the "I have a Dream" speech from him (except the cultural osmosis knowledge of FBI linked death and such) so the reference to white moderates went straight over my head and it just looked so odd to put a racial target in a post which otherwise seemed to view the struggle to rights from a classist view point rather than racial

Just a question from outside the US. Did the minority moderate want socialism? From outside it seems like a general issue with us moderates that they fear anything labeled leftism, not a specific white policy
