Blog – On p. 107, Blabbermouth gives Haroun a piece of feminist advice. She basically says that girls aren’t able to be strong (or heroic) characters because of the ways people stereotype them. Think about contemporary female heroes. Do we have any? Do we value the fact that they are female?
In the Hero story the male character seems more dominant and prevalent. There are some female heroes though, Electra being one. Electra is like a ninja type woman who fights crime. One of my favorite female heroes is Kill Bill. Uma Thurman does a great job in Tarantinos film. The men basically have the lead roles usually and the women tend to have a smaller position or will be an aid to the men.
There is also everyday women heroes like firewomen, and policewomen. At this rank women are treated the same, but I think in other job positions they aren’t. Some women cant receive a position in the company because their manager doesn’t think that they have the capability to do it.
