"Catwoman is a prime example of the femme fatale (literally "dangerous woman") stock character. It's an archetype that goes way back to probably the first male to ever write a story right after a nasty breakup." -- Pulled from Cracked.com
Had a boyfriend once who was always going on about "ROAR, FEMINISM" in the most unintelligent and bullshit fashion that anyone ever could.
I guess there are points where suddenly you get into the problem of everyone making far too much out of every possible detail that ever existed.
And then of course, everything ends up being termed as feminist or anti-feminist or a cop-out.
Now if only the world could stop for a moment and think "Oh my, entertainment! How smashing!" instead of trying to relate everything - even down to Disney movies - back to feminism.
And let me say, I'm not defending anything here.
I just tend to believe that anyone who will run around crying as if they were set on fire about how terrible Disney is in portraying its women is roughly as stupid as someone who would let themselves be so influenced by a Disney cartoon that it really is damaging.
Let me also say that, with my two unfortunate experiences of "O MAI GOWD GUYZ ITS DISNEY AND THERE EVUL D<," I have not yet been proven wrong.
