The cocaine in the middle years may have had something to do with it lol

RemindMe! 6 Months "about this jackass"

I keep a hand towel nearby to regularly wipe the sweat off my hands, cause I like me a hot reading bath.

The blank pages of Twilight are the best part. I concur.

I am hoping this is the day the empire fell.

Mark it, boys and girls: the nail in the coffin.

That's a really interesting point. I often hear my students enjoying novels or shows because of the strong female characters, but I will have to dig a little deeper and ask them about what traits they are using to define "strong". I am actually surprised that is still very prevalent in all genres and not just horror, I'll have to pay more attention.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Many years ago I took an undergrad feminist film theory course focused on horror that mostly went over my head at the time. It covered a lot of issues with horror films like female protagonists having to transform to take on typically masculine characteristics in order to succeed, the femme fatale, vaginina dentata, and so on.

Anyway, my question is this: horror films have obviously improved since the 80s, but are there still many issues in the depiction of non-male or 'other' characters?
