Enlightening analysis! 🙂 I hadn’t thought of this character for a while, but you really put her in a different light for me and brought up traits that I had never thought about in her before.
And I loved what you said to Noah about feminism being a spiritual disease. The problem with feminism is that it takes the place of God and becomes a sort of false religion. If you follow feminism to its natural conclusion it tells men that they aren’t good enough as men and have to act like women, and it tells women that they should act like men. It’s very sad.
I agree with you about the current strong female warrior trend, that it portrays women as strongest when they are doing everything that a man can do and acting as if that is the only kind of strength.
Do you think being feminine is a strength? I don’t mean pink tea parties, but being feminine by embracing what the Bible says about women and their roles. Would that count as a kind of strength?
