Ha, that's a good one.

We should have a cool women of nerdom thread really. People like Buffy, Donna Noble, Xena, She-Hulk, Batwoman, Sookie Stackhouse etc. There's many bad ones but quite a few good ones too.

sookie really??

please, she has downgraded into is a **** toy for anything supernatural

Spock would be a Jedi master before he turned 16.

Are you sure he'd have enough medichlorians? #lucasfail

When James Bond does it, it's considered empowering.

Minus the supernatural part of course.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Meh, not really empowering, just cool.

Sookie's fine. She has a deep flaw like every well-developed character (Impulsive).

Found another one.

Honestly, the way the lead female is being portrayed in this franchise, I'm surprised it got this popular among the girls.

 

[SuperFerret]

There's a difference between being a **** toy and doing what Bond does. It's a case of dominance. Bond's an alpha male and has women open their beds to him. A **** toy is someone who is consistently opening their beds to people. I don't know anything about True Blood except that it seems to be a overly liberal soapbox for undead rights and I cannot abide by that sort of ********.

It just makes me sad.

There's a great extra feature on the last Harry Potter blu-ray called "The Women of Harry Potter", and it has JK Rowling and just about every actress from the movie talking about how important the female roles were to the story. Just this feature alone is better than the Twilight series.

This is part of it - there are 2 other parts, but I know one has Mrs. Weasley's infamous line, so that's on YouTube as well if you want to watch the rest:
