* A thinly-disguised version of HarlanEllison was central to an early-1970s Justice League story entitled \\\"The Dangerous Dreams of Harle Ellis\\\".
* A little girl called Nastia performs a bar routine in \\\'\\\'StickIt\\\'\\\'. She is, of course, Nastia Liukin, who medaled on bars in the Olympics two years later.
* \\\'\\\'MaxKeeblesBigMove\\\'\\\' has TonyHawk and LilRomeo.
* \\\'\\\'{{Cars}}\\\'\\\' has Bob Cutlass, Darrell Cartrip, Dale Earndhart, Jr., and Jay Limo, while \\\'\\\'Cars 2\\\'\\\' has Brent Mustangberger, David Hobbscap, Jeff Gorvette, and Lewis Hamilton.

Not at all sure about the \\\'\\\'{{Batwoman}}\\\'\\\' one either; might it be better at AsHimself?

Ok, hopefully this helps clarify a few things about the \\\"Ladies Aganist Feminism\\\" entry:

There is a huge difference between not actively identifying as feminist or having qualms with the way the feminist movement does things, and advocating the control/limitation of women for political or religious reasons. LAF is the latter.

Obviously, not everyone who has a problem with the term \\\"feminist\\\" automatically wants all women back in the kitchen. But let\\\'s not kid ourselves - most people who actively identify as ANTI-feminist usually have seriously problematic beliefs about women and women\\\'s rights.

LAF\\\'s understanding of feminism is essentially that women have too much freedom and too many rights, which they are not meant to possess because they were created primarily for servitude and are defined by their relationships (motherhood, marriage, etc) rather than as individuals. Ergo feminism (read: women being in charge of their own lives) is bad for society and an affront to what they percieve as the natural order of things.

Also, in case this wasn\\\'t patently obvious, LAF is an organization that advocates the precepts of \\\"Christian Patriarchy\\\", a fundamentalist religious movement focused on \\\"traditional family values\\\" as they narrowly define it. A quick Google search on the topic will find you mountains of testimonies from survivors about the deeply misogynistic and destructive effects of their cult-like teachings. Throughout a woman\\\'s life, she absolutely must be under the control of a man, and women are treated as though they\\\'re incapable of being autonomous adults. In extreme cases, rape/incest is not unheard of, even widespread (the logical end of treating women as property). [[http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/blog/2011/09/12/lifedaughter-christian-patriarchy Here\\\'s a good summary from an insider]].

I believe all of them are victims in some way and perhaps some don\\\'t know any better, especially since these women have been indoctrinated (sometimes since birth) into believing they are inferior and as a result suffer crippling paranoia over God\\\'s supposed wrath should they question it. But more insidiously, they have take that self-hatred and are projecting it onto other women - in my book that makes them de facto misogynists. They have an awful lot of contempt and judgment for women who don\\\'t conform to their rigid standard, bigotry towards non-religious women, and there is plenty of victim-blaming/rape apologia littering the site.
