Nowhere Left To Run

Kahlan was mentioned in my second-to-last post and then I found some awesome icons of her which demanded to be uploaded, which lead me to rewatch the best parts of the pilot and "Torn" and now I need an excuse to use said icons.

So talk to me about Legend of the Seeker please. Any kind of comment is welcome (except for 'lots is DUMB and you are DUMB for watching it and I HATE badass ladies with epic hair.')

I heard the song "On a Mission" by Gabriella Cilmi the other day and went...wow, this is like, every woman on LotS ever.

Very true!

It's things like that that make me wonder what exactly the gender politics of the TV-version of the Midlands/D'Hara are, since usually in entirely patriarchal societies women are taught to be passive.

This could be a very interesting fic prompt. And I have to say, I bet the gender politics of the Midlands/D'Hara are probably pretty good, considering a.) their highest authority is exclusively female b.) we've seen queens and princesses and their gender is never mentioned as a downside c.) places were this isn't true and Strange and Worthy Of Comment d.) there are two different badass cadres that are exclusively women (Sister of the Light, Mord Sith).

The one area where you don't see women is in the standard D'Harian soldiers.
