And of course, shes 'sexy'. Do writers find it impossible to imagine women in any light other than a sexy one? Why do female characters always have to be sexy in some way to be considered interesting? The male ones dont necessarily have to.

I am writing a paper on how children cartoons are anti-transgressive when it comes to gender...from what i have seen most represented is that of the classic role of the male and female. I am well aware that it has indeed gotten better but the fact of the matter is, that children are learning from this and because they are like sponges they are only going to take in these subliminal message apply them to real life. I am actually going to check out the link that offered right now....https://www.blogger.com/profile/04851853196869141201noreply@blogger.com
