Firey Outbreak writes "WEll, not sure if this has been posted before, but I think the Episode Equal Fights reflects the state of feminism quite nicely. It is about a feminist villain who persuades thePowerpuff Girls (the superheroines of the cartoon) not to attack her because "girls need to stick up to each other". She convinced them that men were against all women and so they let her go on a crime spree and turned against their own "father", the mayor and their class mates. For example they felt that the Professor asking them to tidy their own room they felt they had been dealt a great injustice. In the end they realised the wrong in their ways and turned on Femme Fatale (the feminist villain). I particularily like the speech-thing they made in the end when they cornered her. Femme Fatale: Oh?hello, girls. I didn?t expect to see you here. Hear you?ve been kicking some male butt. Good for you! (No response. Blossom keeps flipping her coin.) Femme Fatale: (starting across street) Keep up the good work. (They do not move.) Buttercup: Susan B. Anthony coins, huh? Bubbles: Do you even know who she was? Femme Fatale: Er?she was?uh?um? Buttercup: Once upon a time, women weren?t allowed to do much of anything. Bubbles: Susan B. Anthony knew that that was wrong. Blossom: In 1872, she broke the law by voting. (Back to Femme Fatale, watching the coin; she continues o.c.) And even though she was found guilty, the feds wanted to go easy on her. Girls: (from o.c.) Because she was a girl! Blossom: (from o.c.) And not send her to jail. Femme Fatale: (stammering) Well, you?you know, she was this?well, men?girls should?oh, man! (She drops the sack and makes a break for it, but Buttercup cuts her off.) Buttercup: Susan B. Anthony didn?t want special treatment. She wanted to be treated equally. (Femme Fatale backs up a bit and bolts in a different direction; this time, Bubbles intercepts.) Bubbles: She demanded that she be sent to jail, just like any man who broke the law. (Again the robber backs away before trying to escape, but Blossom stops her after only a couple of steps. The coin is produced and held aloft; extreme close-up of her face.) Blossom: And that?s exactly what we?re gonna do to you. If only hard-core feminists demanded to be thrown in jail like any man lik they used to. Instead, now, they claim psychological abuse and demand the men to go to jail."
