Message: <blockquote data-quote="GSHamster" data-source="post: 5519304" data-attributes="member: 20187">One plot that might be interesting, and not too controversial, is a Stepford Wives style plot.The way I'd do it, though it would take a bit of lead time, is to introduce a likeable, spunky, young teenage girl who is a bit of a hellion as an NPC. Maybe one just coming into her powers.  Have the PCs interact with her, maybe rescue her from someone. If you wanted to, you could use an abusive father/mother/guardian, like one who wants to "absorb" her powers, as a red herring for the feminist plot your player expects.Anyways, once the PCs get her settled, set things up so that she is sent to a boarding school, one for young girls with powers, and the PCs go off for another set of adventures. After those adventures, have a contact ask the PCs about the boarding school. Have him tell the PCs that his daughter went there and came back behaving somewhat differently. Ask the PCs if they've heard anything about the school.The PCs will probably check in on hellion from the first adventure. Only this time, she's a completely proper, demure young girl who doesn't have the same spark she had last time. She also no longer uses her powers, claiming it's too dangerous or similar.This pushes the PCs to investigate the school (undercover, maybe?).  Of course, the headmaster/headmistress is a mad supervillain brainwashing the young girls, and various shenanigans occur from that point on.And of course, at the end, the PCs have to figure out what to do with a school full of no-longer-docile teenage girls just coming into their power, which should be a suitably terrifying prospect.This should work nicely because it's feminist, in that the girls are being molded into an archaic female image, but it's also coercion of liberty, vaguely-anti-school/authority that the rest of the group should be able to get behind, while not being as sensitive a topic as rape or slavery or mutilation.Also, lots of comedic potential in the school investigation part.</blockquote>
