That's the more rabid feminist type. That brand of militant feminism should be discouraged.Early feminism = giving women the vote because it's fair and wanting to end things like discrimination and sexual harassment is the right kind of feminism. this is the kind that should be encouraged. But I don't know of any women in media that would be a good example of this kind of feminism since they seem to all be of the Batgirl type in the media. At least to my knowledge.See, this is what's complicated about feminism. Is that there are different flavors of it, from the extreme militant to the more moderate.And your stories can reflect that. A villain could be of the more extreme rabid type.In one episode of the Justice League animated series, Gorilla Grodd turned all humans into gorillas.You could have a similar scenario in which a more rabid feminist sorceress decides to turn every person on the face of this planet to into a woman. Just as one example of how you could illustrate the differences in the two philosphies, and maybe even help her explore her character's motivations for being a feminist. And maybe even the other players can learn a thing or two about tolerance and respect.</blockquote>
