Thursday 25 November 2004, by Slayer : "Alias", anyone? I believe that people’s demands should be for the story to be good, not for the character to be of a particular gender. I loved Buffy and I love Alias not because the main characters are female, but because the storylines are amazing. More strong female leads will follow in time, but lets not churn out more drivel like "Catwoman" just to create more female leads. Friday 26 November 2004, by Glitterjud : Actually I think it’s all a matter of perspective. I think Xena and the wonderous Buffy (not to mention Faith, Willow, Tara etc) paved the way for other shows with strong female leads...Dark Angel, Dead Like Me, Joan of Arcadia, Tru Calling. If you look they’re there. While I agree that much of pop culture leaves a lot to be desired and clearly the majority of shows and stars are fulfilling a very narrow definition of what a woman is, but the way you talk about Britney Spears seems anti-feminist to me. I don’t agree with many of her choices but attacking her in print dpesn’t seem to be a feminist approach either. There is a long way to go but there are far more strong female leads than there were 10 years ago.These comments are an anwser to this article : Testosterone Fuels American Pop Culture : We Need Girl Power (buffy mention)
