How can you take anyone serious with those hulahoops in her ears? It's like, I'm not going to appease the male population by being feminine, but oops, here's some ridiculously large earrings just in case I went too far...

I reckon she may have a can of Skoal tucked away in one of the pockets of that flannel shirt.

I didn't think she ever said she had a problem with being feminine, she seemed to be disapointed with women most often being portrayed as victims that are also objects to lust over.

Indeed, that was the meat of her argument. Maybe part 2 will feature some games that dared to break those stereotypes. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Has she heard of Tomb Raider?

I'm sure Tomb Raider will be mentioned soon...it was relatively groundbreaking in 1996 as far as the way it portrayed its protagonist.
