For some reason, the image of the really tough chick has become popular in Hollywood the past few years. Why characters this crude, violent, unfeminine, ridiculously buffed, and so apparently overdosed on steroids you'd think they were male if not for the big boobs, are put forth as some kind of ideal is beyond us. Our ideal of womanhood is not someone whose approach to a problem makes Jean-Claude Van Damme's appear philosophical by comparison, and who, quite unrealistically, can emerge unscathed from a brawl with five men twice her size. Given Hollywood's stupidity, moral cowardice, and political correctness, it's quite possible they have simply accepted (uncritically, of course) feminism's view that women are exactly the same as men except for the sex organs. On the altar of feminism are thus to be sacrificed truth, believability, and art. Of course, those things were actually sacrificed a long time ago - this is Hollywood we're talking about, after all. But nature is not so easily reordered according to the dictates of feminism .

That's why we find this drawing so refreshing, although we have no idea who the elf-guy is supposed to be (we've never seen Tombraider or played the video game). A Lara Croft-like character finds out that she's not as tough as a man, whatever Gloria Steinem thinks, and that arrogant, rude brats who try to be men can and will be spanked by the real thing until their attitude softens and other people can stand to be around them again. Her expression shows that she has learned that a man can indeed tame her, and that she's glad of it. Thank you so much, unknown artist, for helping to dispel, if only a little, the foul stench of Hollywood's rotten ideals!
