My bad...

I know, I know... I'm a week late with that post (see below). Y'know how life is - you plan for one thing, and then another smacks you right in the face.

I'll put up the new post as soon as I can. In the meantime, check out these two amazing videos guaranteed to put a smile on your face:

Top Female Cartoon Characters: An Introduction

Recently, Renee of Womanist Musings did a series of posts in which she interviewed various womanists and feminists and asked about their “click moment” – the moment in their lives when they decided to pursue womanism or feminism as a cause. Personally, I don’t remember when my click moment was, but I remember what caused it: the treatment of women by the mainstream media (MSM).

Let me make a few things clear: I hate “chick lit”, “chick flicks”, and anything else the corporate MSM believes that women want and/or need. I do, however, love new gadgets, taking things apart and putting them back together, science fiction, action movies, useless trivia, documentaries, and cartoons. I’m not the type of woman to get mushy over “Bridget Jones’ Diary”; I’m the type of woman who gets hot watching giant transforming robots. (Seriously, I almost creamed myself watching the “Transformers” movie. Yay, sequel!) Therefore, I decided to take two of my aforementioned favorite things – cartoons and useless trivia – and combine them to make a series of five posts: Top Female Cartoon Characters.

Did you know that if you googled “top female cartoon characters”, each result contains the words “hottest”, “sexiest”, or “would like to bang”? This will NOT be one of those lists. The characters chosen for this series are strong, intelligent, and buck the stereotypical female roles. When these characters show up on screen, you WANT your kids sitting in front of the T.V.

I’m still doing my research, so I’d love to hear any suggestions. Who would you like to see in this series and why? Who SHOULDN’T be included? Let me know. The first post goes up this weekend.

First up: Top Female Cartoon Geniuses.
