And males focus too little on emotions; isn't the entire point of fiction emotions? We're encultured to behave in certain manners and society judges one to be better than the other: the default and the "other," the good and the less good, the expedient and the inexpedient. But is that judgement right? HELL NO. Even if you just assume gender roles of "women = emotional, men = doers" to be accurate, BOTH are highly necessary. And the fact is that that's not accurate. Men and women are socialized to do different specific social tasks, perhaps, but both are basically human, both do the same basic things. Men and women seek revenge, men and women try to protect their loved ones, families, and communities, men and women seek acheivement. There are some diferences in the nuance of how that's done, but it's still the same basic pattern. Why is "male" the default that females are expected to identify--no, to aspire to? Why is "male" so damn superior? Because society has beaten that notion into people. We need to beat it out of them.

Also, if you want to see something get done, hypothetically, why don't you say that to my face? Becuase I may be a woman, but I would be very hard pressed not to stop myself from resorting to good old fashioned (Lol masculine) violence if someone insulted my honor as a woman by insinuating that, much less SAYING it. But I would, because fortunately I have the discretion regarding violence that is so stereotypically feminine. If you're going to deal in stereotypes, why don't I insert a big long rant here about how without women, men would have destroyed everything by now? Because that's NO MORE TRUE than women being emotional and useless for leading, but the other sex can play at the insulting stereotype game, too.
