I adore futurama and I adore this post!
I totally agree with you; sometimes it isn't a battle with a winner and a loser, sometimes we are all equally awful. XD
I've always loved futurama for its egdy, far-out yet non-discriminate comedy, and felt Leela (the main heroine) was a great feminist role-model.
She's a kick-ass action hero, but they haven't degraded her to a "fighting f*** toy" and showed her vulnerability as well, showing that sometimes its alright to be insecure.
And don't get me wrong, I totally get the need to be defensive ocassionally. It's understandable what with all the groping/casual nazism/wolf whistling- but I really admire you for putting this out there.
Love this post! Going straight to favourites!
