    Dawn of the dead dames

    The new trend for 'slashcoms' featuring female zombies and vampires seems to put women in control. But is the joke really on the witless male protagonists? In any case, Rosamund Witcher is not amused...

    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    In the midst of all this misogyny, it was heartening to hear that Edwin A. Salt, a spy thriller in which Tom Cruise was due to play the hero has been rewritten with a female lead after Angelina Jolie showed an interest. But there are only a handful of actresses in the world that can demand that kind of treatment and Jolie has a proven track record with action roles.
    It's always interesting to see where people choose to acknowledge sexism and the behavior that encourages it, and where they choose to ignore it.

    It was a good article, though, in my opinion. At least it sparks discussion. Well, maybe it doesn't spark discussion here...
