Café de Nuit

Five wrote:Literary feminism as viewed through the lens of fantasy-horror? The antithesis of the "damsel in distress"? This version seemingly has women in a position of power (through feminine charms; lust) over not just mankind, but of things that prey on mankind. Thus placing women as the apex predator of sorts. Everything bows down to the woman.

And for the record, while I do not believe in being politically correct (it nullifies true thought and expression), I will mention that I use the term "feminism" here not to describe the gender of any given author, but to describe a mechanic that an author can use. And in that context "literary feminism" becomes genderless.

Just so's you knows.

Someone after my own heart. As Wiley Miller of Non Sequitur once put it in a Sunday strip with Obviousman, "Political correctness is just another way to make sure no one has any fun."

I also have to agree that the best this thread will come to is various POVs. There is simply no singular correct answer to the OP. Why? To that I ask, why not?

That is the question? Twether it is.... (ok i'll stop before I go full blown hamlet xD)

Anyways that reminded me of that part.
