"It seems like quite a lot of people think that if a movie has eyecandy that is "tough" or tomboyish and preferably shoots guns or engages in violence then we can ignore the fact that women never interact with each other and women's thoughts don't matter on anything except their relationship to other men. I'm sure you'll say Lara Croft is an empowering movie and we should ignore the fact that it's sole purpose was to titivate teenage boys who play violent videogames."
1. Um...Hermione Granger is many things...
Smart, tough, dependable, loyal, independent, smart, resourceful, smart, did I mention smart...
However, Lara Croft she ain't.
2. I've never played Tomb Raider in my life, nor do I intend to do so.
3. Answer me, please, Putin...Hermione--thumbs up, thumbs down?
