History Quotes / Chickification

-> ''Judging by the statues they carved and the way she was worshipped, Aphrodite was a full-on war god back when she first made landfall. Now, unsurprisingly, a goddess of beauty and sex simultaneously being a goddess of war was unlikely to bother the Spartans, because, you know, [[ProudWarriorRace Spartans]], but the rest of Greece didn't seem too keen on the concept - apparently, it was considered [[OxymoronicBeing an inherent contradiction in values]]. The warlike Aphrodite is found almost exclusively On Kythera and in Sparta. And it's worth noting that in ''Literature/TheIliad'', Zeus explicitly tells Aphrodite that she doesn't belong on the battlefield, which is the kind of overt character interaction that contemporary writers like to use to [[WriterOnBoard make firm political statements on controversial subjects]]. The fact that it needed to be stated at all implies it might have been something of a debate at the time.

-> Weep as this once proud [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething queen]], [[ActionPolitician senator]], and [[LadyOfWar warrior]] spends the whole movie barefoot and pregnant.

->Most New Series episodes have their weaknesses, and "School Reunion"'s is Rose. It's not even that she is horrendously characterised all of the time, because throughout most of the episode she is fine, but there are just a few moments when I wanted to break down the fourth wall, jump into the telly and give her [[DopeSlap a good slap around the chops]] with a wet fish... The suggestion during their bitch fight seems to be that Rose could rival Sarah in the companion stakes, but she [[PretenderDiss doesn't have what it takes to stand even half as tall]]. Jealousy is not a very attractive quality (whatever Creator/RussellTDavies might seem to think), and transforming Rose from a strong, independent woman into a seething, green-eyed monster was the point where her character was [[CharacterDerailment irrevocably damaged]] as far as I was concerned.

->'''Chris''': Sonya has been full-on sexy bondaged and her hair has been teased to within an inch of its life. Ye cats, dude.\\
'''Matt''': This is really bad. One of the things that you have to give fighting games as a genre is that they put men and women on equal footing, in terms of skills. Lots of them objectify women -- looking in your direction, ''VideoGame/{{Fatal Fury}}''[='=]s Mai Shiranui -- but they’re just as tough as men. They aren’t damsels in distress. So this movie going that route is extra disappointing.\\
'''Chris''': And it’s so lazy! She’s dressed in a weird leather cheerleader skirt and telling Shang Tsung “my friends will come for me!” She was clocking metalheads with a shotgun an hour ago!\\
'''Matt:''' It isn’t even true to this movie’s own version of Sonya. It was about 10 minutes ago that she was telling Johnny Cage to f**k off!

->''A recent film, ''Film/TheHours'', presents [[Creator/VirginiaWoolf Woolf]] in a way surely her contemporaries would have marvelled at. She is the very image of a sensitive suffering lady novelist. Where is the malicious spiteful woman she in fact was? And dirty-mouthed, too, though with an upper-class accent. Posterity, it seems, has to soften and make respectable, smooth and polish, unable to see that the rough, the raw, the discordant, may be the source and nurse of creativity. (...) How do we love female victims; oh, how we do love them.''
