<p>Of  the many things I noted in the movie, Avatar, is that the evil bad man is a shoot first US Colonel.  He is a money-over-humanity male character from Earth. while the Pandora and leading women characters,  play peacemaker or defender roles.</p>
<p>A female soldier dies trying to save the Na&#8217;vi, after changing her mind during her mission. She says, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t sign up for this,&#8221; and sick of the brutal murdering rampage, surrenders her life to protect the &#8220;savages&#8221; she was ordered to kill.</p>
<p>A female Na&#8217;vi, Mo&#8217;at, is the spiritual leader.   On Earth, women are forbidden to represent some religions.</p>
<p>The lead female, Neytiri, is a teacher, warrior, lover, and upholder of tradition.  She also falls in love with someone outside her tribe. That man, a cross between an Earth male and an native of Pandora, immerses himself in native ways and finds them not only better than his home planet, but worth fighting for.</p>
<p>A female is the scientist.  Augustine is compassionate, open minded, believes in learning the ways of a people rather than changing them.</p>
<p>A female is seen sobbing behind the MEN in Power, as they watch &#8220;Home Tree&#8221; blown up.</p>
<p>It has been reported that the character, Colonel Miles Quaritch, who drives the destruction of Pandora natives, whom he refers to as &#8220;savages&#8221;, is not how the US military views itself.</p>
<p>And today, the US military sent troops to Haiti instead of the food and medicine sitting in docks in Miami.</p>
<p>And in Massachusetts, it has been forseen that the man running to replace Senator Kennedy, rather than the woman, will be elected.</p>
<p>Earth remains unchanged.</p>

Why is it that when I go to Borders, Barnes and Noble or any store where magazines are sold, there is ONE adult (porn) oriented magazine for women?  It&#8217;s usually &#8220;Playgirl&#8221;.  
It&#8217;s hiding among 75 other magazines for men.

<p>Why is it that when I search for &#8220;nude men&#8221; on the Internet, all I get are gay male websites?</p>
<p>Why are all the women written about in erotica stories five feet three inches, blond, blue eyed, 36B bust size and can perform gymnastics skills for <em>his</em> pleasure?</p>
<p>We can put a man on the moon, find distant planets and stars and clone cats, but there is no interest in what I call &#8220;The Secret Society of Sexy Women&#8221;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m here to tell you this.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re out there.</p>
<p>We love visuals.</p>
