[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 5249502, member: 386"] Wait, what? Maybe about the racial stuff, but the woman is a sacrificial lamb? It's almost like you don't think that women can make up their own minds - and in this case, it was that she was willing to die for Conan. I guess any case where a woman sacrifices herself for a man - or a man sacrifices himself for a woman (fighting for her, ie. damsel in distress) - is bad. I guess everyone must get by on their own. * There's no problem with a woman being saved by a man. None at all. It can be sexy. So can the reverse. (What's more, I have no problem with any sort of art. I can't think of anything that I think shouldn't be reproduced, as long as it said something.) It doesn't mean that just because the art depicts a man saving a woman that the woman is helpless; look at Klaus' references. A man can save a woman from danger, even a strong woman. * I wonder what you think of the relationship between Conan and Bélit. She decided to take him on her crew based on his sexual attributes - flip the roles and see how that works - a woman being given the choice of death at the hands of merciless pirates or sleeping with their captain, Conan. Conan is sexist, yeah, but not so much as you might think. * Always wanted to say: Sookie Stackhouse is a strong woman; Buffy is not. Sookie is hard-core and will do what it takes, even though she's out of her league; Buffy is gifted with powers, and would just be a fan of The Hills without those powers. [/QUOTE]
