User blog comment:Corbierr/A rant on double standards, sexism, all that fun stuff (in terms of fiction)/@comment-25576856-20141211230212/@comment-25576856-20141211233214

I really hope they make a female superhero movie someday. I bet they're afraid that men who generally like superheroes won't watch it because it's about a girl, and they're 'manly men' and it wouldn't be manly enough for them. See, there's the root of the problem: society. It's what influences fiction. But in terms of fiction, I definitely see what you're saying. Nina is super bland, which is why I don't like her character. How about this idea, the combination of our two ideas: about a girl just like Amber who feels weak because she's a girly girl and not tough like the Patricia-type girl she knows. The guys she knows try to act manly and think they're the strong protectors. This infuriates her, and she works to change herself and how she acts to prove to the douches that she's not weak. But in the end, she realizes that she doesn't have to act differently to be strong; she's strong already, and she saves the day. The dumb douches realize how stupid they were acting and change.
