or "real women" for that matter. You use the world "real" in this discussion but you're really talking about fantasy characters.

I prefer three dimensional characters both in my friendships and on-screen. Neither my wife or daughter are the least bit "girly" and that's the way I like it. My wife is incredibly good at everything she does and doesn't need to be coquettish to prove her worth. My daughter is a beautiful 17-year old who has never worn makeup. She's also preternaturally smart and intensely musical. As I write this she's attending a jazz piano workshop. They're nothing like the "real" people you allude to.

I would much rather watch female characters like them on screen than fantasy dolls.

Why must you take all this personally? Let's always leave our families out of the way in these discussions, too. That way madness lies.

  Best to leave the politics out too. I think your politics started the problem.

      Not that I know of. Didn't even see the word in your post.

        Then your comments *were* just tongue in cheek, as another poster suggested. Fair enough.
        My only point was that using politically charged terms is asking for it on any forum. Look up the term "girly men" in wikipedia, if you still don't know what I mean.
        No problem with me, but just wanted to point out a reason it might set things off.

That's an old ploy; showing how manly you are by claiming you don't have to show how manly you are.

  Only men who are misogynistic pigs who talk about women like they're meat are, in the end, "real men." And if I don't smoke cigars and spit constantly I'm a girly man. A spectacularly self-serving formulation.

    OK, if you say so.
