My thoughts on Feminism...

For the longest time, I'd been wanting to write a topic about strong female characters. This isn't to say that we shouldn't have them, but rather focused on making them more well-versed, well-rounded, and all-around, to make them authentic. Instead of just having kick the guy's ass, and we're all fine with it. Or just outright go neo-feminist nazi type, and just outright have this misandrist perspective, that men and boys are scums of the earth & should be eradicated as well. Leaving only the handsome, broad-shouldered, and muscular to have around as boy toys. To be easily manipulated, so that it's relatively easy, to keep control & never have to worry about being out of control. "Control" seems to be the problem.
Now I'm not saying that women in roles for TV, Film, & Digital or New Media, can't be written very well.Especially for them to say their lines. What I'm saying is, if their not well-versed, well-written, or even have multifaceted aspects going for them, then it's just a personality thing that people can't get behind. Not just the women problem. After seeing  a number of movies that have women and girls in them, the best ones from what I've seen, are the one's with a variety of emotions. And just always trying to punch or kick someone or something. These female characters are resilient, have perseverance,  and know what vulnerability is not a weakness, but an inner strength. An inner strength to still trust, despite having felt hurt, pain, and abuse at one point of a person's life. Inner strength is something of which I can't stress that enough times. Because it needs to be talked about more.
I'm going to use one of my magnum opuses, as an example. The first one being "C.T.W." Where you have two of the "Four Noble Animal Leaders" who are women and females. Both are strong, but not just physically, but personality, mentally, and spiritually. Their fierce, lethal, but know their limitations as females, but don't feel very ashamed about it. They even have a second-in-command or right hand man, that's a woman as well. Even when they'd fought against each other, there was deep motivation, deep emotions, and the fight was intense because of it. There was that strong will to protect things that were precious to them. Even when the Ken Slayers were attacking them, instead of just submitting and letting them do as they'd please, they'd fought back tooth-and-nail. They've thrown down agains them. Letting them know, that they don't run the show around here. And despite being overpowered, they'd still kept their strong will intact. Still being proud of being a Hugertar or a Coco member or elite. And the fact that they've forgave the Ken Slayers, for what they've did to them, while not letting them off the hook, shows again the inner strength that they have, to forgive.
       Now, diving into Volume#1 and beyond, completely negating the short story, you'd still see Minerva, Diana, Vesta, and Ariel. All of which are strong female characters in their own right. And all of them play their role to contribute well into the storyline. Including Vesta, as has it not been for her, none of them would've found each other. And that's three main female characters, in one particular series, along with a main supporting character. It certainly beats out the Bethel Test, where of course there are two or more female characters, and they don't just talk about a guy that they like. Even in Ed's Journey, we'd got Anna, Flora, and Artume who are the main female characters in the Trilogy.
And for the villain's side of the first magnum opus, you've got Abagail, Kore, Helena, and Milena. You've got them as part of this deadly terrorist organization, and even though not each of them are stronger than the other, they all have special skill sets, that makes them deadly. Even the final villain in the series, is a draconically transformed woman, much like Irene Bielgseen from Fairy Tail, who's like "Tia-mat"; Queen of all of the Dragons. The one who's been pulling the strings from all around, and things were getting intense, because of it.
And then there's my other magnum opus, "Saintly/Angelic Warriors", which outside of the prologue, you've got Amelia, Tiana or Tiara, Aria, and Jezebel. Again, the combination of three main female characters & one main supporting character too. Jezebel goes on to train very hard, and becomes someone of high rank. Amelia gets character development, Tiara does as well, and Aria through time will too. And once again, just like in C.T.W, the final villain is the mysterious woman, who claims the name Tiamat. But in contrast to C.T.W, where she wasn't mentioned until Volume#2, she's mentioned the first volume, that comes to mind.
So there you have it, I'm all for having strong female character left and right. But only when they have a wonderful personality, likeable traits, and abilities that fit the nature of their name, background, and character. Other than that, as long as this world continues to make ridiculous news, where they think women aren't getting so much attention, that's debunked because for the past few years, have been a shift of such.

Update

Just to give a quick update, since I know I've been gone for a minute, I won't be working on the final volume of the "Celestia/Terrestrial Warriors" series, since I've been on it since '07 and republished the first volume in April of '11. It's been one helluva of a ride working through this, and I'd want to thank anyone, who took time out of their day, to read just a bit of what I've had to offer. The final volume that I've had planned, won't be out until either April or August of '22. Assuming the world doesn't blow itself up by now. Or that a massive civil war happens, that causes the worse riots that you'll ever see out there.
Until then, I'm going to work on the Graphic Novel or Graphic Literature version of my work. Just so that I can improve the quality of my work. Until then, take care and look forward for more in the near future.
