Subject: Re: [eqbards] [OT] Fascinating Article


Sorry, didn't state my point well, I guess. It's not her looks that are
the problem. I'm sure lots of women would like to look like her. But she
doesn't portray action/fun/excitment/adventure. She's just standing there
looking pretty. In comparison, look at ads for Lara Croft, swinging
around, gun drawn, lewts in hand...there's a character women would want to
play!

Hopefully that's a bit clearer.

Peace
Evulia

To continue acting sexist and being realistic; if you don't think women
want
to /be/ Firiona you're not paying attention to all those insanely
insecurity-exploiting women's magazines out there, and all the fools who
buy
them and then sit around at home hating themselves for being (allegedly) so
fat and ugly in comparison, and end up ridiculously immitating the advice
and
models in the articles.
