  • 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

  • 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

  • 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
