Especially if there was some kind of career path that was restricted to one gender or another. Only men can be knights? I'm sure Amanda or Janette could do wonders with a fake beard. And if Duncan MacLeod wanted to spend some time in a convent, why not?

(*My idea of gender/sex wasn't as developed as now, so at the time, my perspective was limited to male vs. female). I just automatically assumed that anyone who could live multiple life times would naturally decide to try out all of their options.

We don't need to get into why I enjoy this. But I am delighted that it got flagged as "adult content". Because yeah, it is. <3

Gotcha

LRR?

I am cautiously optimistic about this new one though, he mentioned transphobia, homophobia and racism as bad things at one point. The bar is, I admit, pretty low. (But some people still manage not to clear it...)

I had no idea how normalized the idea of a grown man in his thirties or forties being attracted to a teenaged girl was to me until I was genuinely surprised to watch an episode of genre television where it did not happen.

Was that at no point did either of the adult male characters investigating the case express any kind of attraction to the girl. It wasn't even a question. Not even a point where someone had to remind themselves that she was a child. I was surprised by how refreshing I found it.

...is it wrong that I'd be vaguely interested in watching that version of Frankenstein?

And there are men who still react to that idea like they're George Peppard talking about the A-Team. (Hey, in retrospect, Amy Allen was great and often contributed far more to an episode than Templeton Peck!)

I do think it's fair to say though that there are a lot of ensemble action movies where the team could maybe have a higher percentage of women. And in a wider variety of roles. (Remember how good Tig Notaro was when she replaced Chris D'Elia in that zombie movie? She could have been first choice!)

I generally go into a Batman movie expecting most of the conversations in the movie to be about 1) Batman, 2) Bruce Wayne, 3) Crime, 4) the villain, 5) the love interest. So yeah, if we get a conversation between female characters in a Batman movie, the odds are decent that it will be about a man.

And they apply it to the silliest contexts. I remember it used on the Dark Knight. You know, Batman movie. About Batman. Who is a man, by the way. And the primary villain in that movie was the Joker. Another man. And it's an action movie primarily, so conversation isn't a big part.

Which is probably the reason these guys aren't winning the love triangle to begin with.

I love when stories have this kind of dilemma, because, at no point does the dude in Wolverine's role ever consider that the lady may not want a man who let her partner die.
