Strong Women

Earth to this woman, Firefly is a science fiction series, so lighten up for heaven’s sake. Sheesh.

I would say more, but Ace has already put her in her place - oops is that a sexist comment? - better than I ever could.  Still, this video shows the way normal people see the women of the good ship Serenity.

Finally, if you want to discuss the plight of women today, try posting about the way women are treated under Islamic Sharia law.  I know it’s easier to attack a Hollywood writer and Sci Fi characters than people who might really cut off your head, but such is life.
