Is anyone else P.O’ed by the stereotype that a strong, independent fighting woman has to be gay? Why can’t we have a straight, strong, independent fighting woman? I am sick of the stereotype. The few times when we have an independent, straight, fighting woman, most of the time she has to be rescued still by a man. Show a straight woman who can handle herself in a fight. Break that stereotype. I’m not against gays. I’m against stereotyping that all strong, aggressive, fighting women have to be gay.

I really don’t care if they are or not, but, don’t hang your hat on it. Saying that someone is homosexual, and, then enrobing them in all the tropes and stereotypes of the category is offensive. Super sexy butch lesbian who gets back in the closet for her nightly vigilantism, it’s all very sophomoric.
