Christ, nearly every woman in the series is a sort of Feminist super-hero; the body builder, the hacker, the manager, etc. Contrast this to portrayal of males in the books; the only ones who are portrayed in a consistently positive manner are "the plucky journalist", "the jewish cop", "the immigrant brazilian boxer", etc.

I read the series, so there is redeeming entertainment value, but for ****s sake....



LINK - women like being eyeballed, and have a crisis of confidence when men stop eyeballing them them. So, please, stop saying they're "objectified".

Anyways, push come to shove, I'd take the girl playing Lisbeth.
