Aunt Jin is completely missing the point here. Atsali's problem isn't that she accepts others' judgement -- she already knows it's bullshit. Her problem is that knowing it's bullshit doesn't stop it from happening. She's looking for advice on how to handle that.

"Hams On A Broom Handle" makes for the unique exclamation.

There's a difference in mindsets between being accepting of something that is essentially different from you and being accepting of something that is supposed to be similar to you but is different in some subtle way. Sort of like how people can be tolerant of somebody from a totally different culture doing weird things, but get all in an uproar when somebody from their own culture acts even slightly out of the norm.

A mermaid may be perfectly accepting of something that looks like a yeti, because they're so different that there's no real comparison or competition. The same mermaid might get all indignant about somebody else, though, who has a human form that is different from (or especially that is "better" than) the mermaid's own human appearance.

Unrealistic for certain. Any real adventurer/hero would know better than to wear an axe-holder harness across his chest, that's emblazoned with a bright red "Aim crossbow here!" targeting pattern. Even if that sheet metal could slow a crossbow dart a bit (very doubtful) a crosbow's accuracy isn't all that great... all he's doing is giving the opponent a great center-of-body reference and saying "Hey, here's a spot to miss by a few inches!"

That's almost as bad as those Star Trek security uniforms... red shirts with the bullseye on the back.

well people do forget to 'suspend their disbelief'... as shown in a recent 'big bang theory'... Amy said that in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', the whole story would work without Indiana Jones!! - go think about it..

Reality???? who needs it, that's what we come here to escape from!!!! :D :D
oh, and I think you will find that 'bullseye' is there as a 'taunt'.. :E He-man's skill is such that you will not get anywhere near... :P :)

as for 'realistic paranormal male role models' , Atsali may have a skinny body with breasts 3 or 4 times the size of her waist, but the male version could well be worse!! :D :D

dont click these links if in work or of a sensitive nature!!! :D :D :) priapus, god of fertility.. full fertility god... LOL

But let us also not forget that He-Man is as much a male fantasy as much as any half-naked female with emphasized secondary sexual attributes is. The referenced female archetype is a make sexual fantasy, while He-Man is a male power fantasy.

As David Willis has told us, the female fantasy versions of those would be very different.

Generally speaking, female porn would consist of well- developed (not OVER developed) young stud muffins... doing the dishes... vacuuming the floor... changing the toilet paper roll... cleaning the stove/oven... doing laundry... folding laundry... all while wearing ripped jeans or SHORT shorts or maybe a smile and nothing more...

Very old.

Older than me by ten or so years. (Superman is ten years older than me, as a datum point.)

I forget the name of the movie, but from somewhere I remember a police undercover buddy drama wherein early in the plot, the male partner jokes about what females want. The female partner answers along of "What do I want? Paint my house!"

At the end of the successful investigation, arrangements are made, and the young but worldly lass is sitting in a folding lounge chair in the front yard, eating a sandwich, while a half dozen glistening, shirtless young hunks are painting her house.

Quite so. But then again, Atsali could probably express herself better.

Exit To Eden. A kind of adaption from a novel. It was written by Ann Rice (Under a pseudonym of Anne Rampling.). It had thematic elements of the original BDSM love story from the book but Garry Marshall had it adapted to add a funny detective story with Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyd to carry the comedic story.
