That was an American Gangster reference, btw. Blue Magic = great heroine. ...Sorry.

LEOG, wearing it's ovaries on the OUTSIDE!

In the past, some of the (debatably) greatest action movie stars have been sports figures transitioning over. Arnold was a bodybuilder, Van Damme a martial artist, Roddy Piper was a girl scout (kidding). In light of MMA fighter Gina Carano shining in Haywire, could this same formula create a new string of female action stars?

And if so - who would you like to see?

Dear League,

One of my favorite female protagonists is Claire Danes character on Homeland Carrie Mathison. Her identity is not based around being a woman as like most female fictional characters tend to be. She is a just a person with her own problems put in these extreme situations who happens to be a woman. What are some of your favorite female leads who are approached as people first rather than female first?

Peace and long live the league

This just seemed appropriate.

To ME, anyway...

Dear League,

Where do you think the fine line is when comparing badass women who are sexy and the girls from Sucker Punch?

Love you guys and love the show.

P.S. Many thanks to Cyrus for the America: The History of Us and Rocco's Modern Life box sets from the Remote Viewing podcast.

Directed towards the Ladies of LEOG,

We've come a long way since Demi Moore in "G.I.Jane," but from a female perspective do you generally feel it's necessary to adopt more "mannish" behaviors to be taken seriously as a badass?

Well, I've found in and outside of the military I had to  do the "mannish" things to get the guys to pay attention to me. It's also a layer of protection to try to keep you from letting your true feelings get the better of you.  This is from a formeer Army SGT who ended up with a nasty case of PTSD due to the treatment I received from the  so called "men".

Hello Members of the League,

This question is actually for Intergalactic Nemesis. I really want to see your show but have no idea when/if you will be coming to California. Do you have any dates and locations for a show here?

Thanks and as always, Long Live the League!!!

Dear League,

As the opposite of Iron Ladies, we have female characters that don't have backbone, play the stereotypical damsel in distress, can't fight, etc. There are some of them though that deep down I wish someone would give them a "plot makeover" and turn these characters into "Iron Ladies". Are there any characters the League wishes would turn from a damsel in distress to a ass-kicking, take no names heroine?

Take care,

DHood90
