Fairies are a bit like pretty-in-pink princesses but with the power to -- what? -- sprinkle fairy dust on someone? Look around children's media, the morning cartoon shows, the tween movies; look at all the gadgets, swords, cameras, and binoculars boys get to use in order to act in the world, while girls, with a few exceptions, are still mainly spectators. When girls are given power, it's typically magic power, not real power to act and change the world. And, incidentally, we all know what happens to girls with magic powers after a while -- either they morph into the characters from ``I Dream of Genie" and ``Bewitched," using their powers to keep their ``masters" happy or they disappear without a trace.

Liberal Femanazi wack-jobs really crack me up.

Sad, no matter how had they try, Feminazis simply seem incapable of finding any traction in life. Every hardship they have endured is a result of some malevolent male force that insists on keeping their boot on the back of women's necks.

They want a character with hair armpits, messy hair and earth shoes. We did that already, right? Funny, my brother never brought one of those home. But then HE shaved, bathed and wore clean clothes. (Incidentally, NO female in our family looked like that either.)

Que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be,
The future's not ours to see...
Que sera, sera.

Which now will run through my head for the rest of the day.

Thanks.

she can hover only when she's happy

Sort of like the real life of a pessimist: get your hopes up, get them dashed, crash and burn.
