“What weakens this force, what makes you not feel it or even doubt its existence, is the degree to which you have succumbed to another force in life - social pressures to conform. This counterforce can be very powerful. You want to fit into a group. Unconsciously, you might feel that what makes you different is embarrassing or painful. Your parents often act as a counterforce as well. They may seek to direct you to a career path that is lucrative and comfortable. If these counterforces become strong enough, you can lose complete contact with your uniqueness, with who you really are. Your inclination and desires become modeled on those of others.”

For Karl Marx, her analytical mind, passionate politics, and disregard for social propriety made her a woman in a million.”

“[B]y the beginning of the 21st century, the fighting female capable of spectacular violence had gained a firm ground, and there were more versions of them than ever before on the big and small screens, and the number only continues to increase. Audiences growing up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, male and female, have been raised on depictions of women onscreen who could more than hold their own and didn’t need to be protected, at least no more than a man did.”
