@emlynaddison Excellent post! Haven't seen HTTYD2, but that perfectly captures my feelings about Lego Movie & Wildstyle.

@PigtailPals Though it makes me wonder what the goal of "strong female" is supposed to mean...surely not to aspire to be more man-like...

@emlynaddison No, not more man-like. Simply a woman who pursues her goals, has strength, and never questions using or showing her courage.

@PigtailPals ie: Is there a better vehicle by which to present the strength of a female than a stupid action movie packed with muscles?

@emlynaddison Women have been and can be warriors. That isn't a male thing. Overall yes, there are many ways that women can show strenth.

@PigtailPals So the ideal to aspire to is another Braveheart...with women dismembering each other instead of men? Hmm, I don't get it.

@emlynaddison That is not at all what I am suggesting.

@PigtailPals My point is that women don't have to act tough/be macho to have strength of character. Strength is manifested differently...
