Female Hero's
 

For a very long time, hero's have been recognized as being male and just crazy if one were to be female. Even right back to the Anglo-Saxons has it been the mans job to defeat the evil. Women were seen as perfect and to fragile to fight anything.

Alien was a very popular movie and succesfull, why? Because it was a Sci-Fi and concerned aliens which burst out of your stomach only to eat everything. But, it was one of a minority, it had a female hero, a female was the one to defeat the known evil. The movie is now a classic.

Other movies i know of which have female hero's are:

----The Long Kiss GoodnightGina Davis. House wife by day, but by night, still a house wife who kicks @r$e.

----Resident Evil Milla Jovavich. Who can kill a zombie in the stark nude? Millavich Can!

----M.I.B Linda Florentino. Killed that big darn cockroach!

----LOTR: Return of the King Miranda Otto. For one brief moment, she shows what women can do!

Like I said, a minority!

Any Comment, addition?

i have to write a paper on feminism so im glad this topic came up. although there are some female heroes have you seen that no matter what film it is they always end up skantly clad

female hero = heroine
 

Please check out THIS existing thread. :indifferent:

I don't know if this is a serious thing or some sick, sad attempt at something...

Hey not to get technical, but if she's female isn't she a heroine. Hero is usually for the males. Anyhow I liked Pam Anderson in Barb Wire

:yup:

Technically, a hero doesn't have to be a male. Also technically, a female doctor could be a doctress and a female singer could be a singeress. We understand those last two to be silly; I'm waiting for everyone to show a little consistency... I, for one, will never call any comedian a comedienne...

:idea:
I thought it was songstress......

:frustrated:

That too.

Technically, they're all actors, too.

But I do believe technically the word is heroine...

Technically, a female who acts is both an actor and an actress. Technically, a female who is heroic is both a hero and a heroine. Technically, a female with a doctorate is both a doctor and a doctress.

Really? Wow.
That, my friend, is retarded...

:yup:

:laugh:

No kidding. It's like pick one and go with it.

Yes, it is retarded. It is retarded to have the extra name. I call people who act, actors, regardless of gender.

What about the Charaters these Actoresses play?

Oh, yes. I wasn't calling you retarded, that's what I meant.
