Introduction

Hi everyone! My goal is to start a list of anime/manga that feature strong heroines that are empowering to women and girls. Or perhaps on the other hand, expose sexism within society. Or maybe just includes gender bending fun! Mostly I will be reviewing various anime/manga, but I might also throw in some analysis here or there on my favorite series. I hope to get others as authors. I just have a few rules about postings

1. Only post reviews, analyses, or anything containing information to be shared that can lead to discussion or builds upon the mission of this site.
2. Please no male bashing. You may comment on how various male characters mistreat women, but don't condemn the entire sex in general. Feminism is about equality, not female supremacy.
3. No ranting. I would like to keep this as formal as possible.
4. Keep the reviews/articles clean (even though what your reviewing may not be). If you wish to submit something that is explicit, but is a legitamate question to discuss, please contact me in advance.

Wow, I sound so formal! But seriously, its really laid-back and open. Please have fun! Eventually I'll add polls, links to other sites/blogs, and maybe a news feed (if I can overcome my technologically challenged state). If you have any recommendations, objections, adulations, please comment!

Some series I'm planning on reviewing/discussing:

Rose of Versailles
Revolutionary Girl Utena
Ceres: Celestial Legend
Chobits
Sailor Moon
Le Chevalier d'Eon
Ouran High School Host Club
Planet Ladder
Princess Ai
