As a woman, I definitely want strong male leads not female ones. The pro gay, pro woman modern evisceration of males has reached a fever pitch that makes me sick. Bring back the days of the real Captain Kirk, the likes of John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, or even Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) of Stargate fame. Get rid of the horrible new ways of a woman or a gay man being THE ONLY HERO. Just IMHO.
I've noticed that in EVERY new show or movie, from cop show to space drama, there is always a sexy early 20 something female who somehow or another is either a super hacker or has apparently 50 years of martial arts experience in 10 disciplines. This woman can only be matched in battle by another woman. If she comes upon a man, he "cheats" with a gun or a clonk on the head when she wasn't looking.
It's been a few years but the opener of the new Hawaii 5-0 TV show has the 78 pound asian chick saunter out of the water after surfing and delivers a potentially fatal head kick to a 6'2" guy who "stole her wave"
On TV recently...a show called Dark Matter, female pilot and female android..both master melee fighters, both 5'2", 120lb or less. The bonus is there is a female "teen"(who is 25 for real) who is the super hacker.
Also on TV, Killjoys, 90lb female super fighter is the captain of the ship. Kicks everyone's ass and doesn't look a day over 21.
It goes on and on. Even in super hero movies...who is the best melee fighter? Black Widow? Harley Quinn? Wonder Woman? The men use brute force...the woman use skill.
It's to the point now, I bring it up every time I see it and it irritates the hell out of my wife "Oh look, the frail little girl beats up the 350lb brute".
I totally agree .. gave up looking for a person to share a life with .. they’re either a cheater or a beater .. and if neither of those, then a push-over, cowardly, whiner.
Yuk.
