  • DC Women Kicking Ass interviews SDCC Batgirl.
  • That She-Ra post of ours did the rounds a bit, and out of it came this hashtag on Twitter, and Womanist Musings continues the conversation with The Problem With She-Ra as a Feminist Text.
  • Go Make Me A Sandwich compares approaches to male and female fantasy characters in Dragon Magazine in 2010, with perhaps predictable results. Sigh… Oh, and here’s a handy stat chart. Check that out. Read it and weep. Or order a large, large bourbon, whichever.
  • A Not Safe For Work moment: sex blogger electronic doll on the cliche of the female dominatrix.
