[Paul Atreides]

No matter what timeframe the heroine is born into, she is a feminist. She can be born into the most oppressive time imaginable but she is seen bossing the men around and fighting alongside them in battle.

Haha, for that matter, no matter what time period the story is set in, everybody talks and thinks 21st century... Laughable values transplant and sense of judgment... Ever notice how anachronistic this turns out to be for, oh, say, early American flicks... Case in point: the mangling of the Swamp Fox story in Patriot, because all this crap about Jefferson supposedly knocking up his slave-girls was hitting the tabloids about then... The real Swamp Fox was purportedly rocking the swamp a bit more hardcore... Nobody's coming out of the woodwork claiming to be ol' Marion whatsit's long-lost descendent.
