  1. I fundamentally don't understand this need to identify yourself with one of the characters in fiction, and therefore creating a need to writers to include every kind of person in everything. I've always seen fiction as a third person activity. You're not supposed to be inserting yourself into it. You're supposed to be using your imagination to see things from this fictional character's point of view. Most of my favourite books actually have female main characters. I don't suddenly need a man there to be able to enjoy it.

  2. Almost no movement or belief system is a monolith. However plenty of them act effectively as if they are because one particular interpretation usually seizes all of the institutional power. That's what's happened with feminism in the US. Similar to Islam in most muslim countries.
