And yet we pretend we're "progressive" just because now we allow girls to kick ass.
Equality is just as much of a joke as it was before, its just on the opposite direction now.
Its just that most people either don't care or don't notice until it affects them personally in some way.
Just look at how Tempest Shadow is received compared to, say, Shadlowlock back then.

And most people will be very effective at making up excuses as for why its different, and totally not because one has a vagina and the other doesn't.
