It's such a shame that the old SuperFriends really gave female heroines such short shrift and that so many current cartoons (hero based and otherwise) still seem to promote the stereotype.<br><br>We've actually been letting our oldest daughter who is almost nine play the MMO City of Heroes with us occasionally and she thinks it's great fun to create her own heroine and take down the bad guys. Heretofore, she's been fairly reserved at sticking up for herself with some of the more cliquish girls in her class, but since we've started letting her play, we've noticed a marked change in her view of herself. Nothing like a pair of killer boots and a cape to make a girl want to take on the world! Amen to that Daniel!
