But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to battle, as my lord saith.
The Case of Sexism in ATLA
via Tumblr (fireladyswag): atla-confession-box : “I recognize ATLA isn’t nearly as bad as some other shows. But I can’t help but feel it’s a little sexist.” My response: Definition of sexist: discriminatory on the basis of sex (usually said of men's attitude toward women). wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn How is the entire show sexist? It presents various characters that break both male and female gender stereotypes: strong female characters e.g. Toph (who, along with Teo, simultaneously breaks the disability barrier), Katara (changed grandPakku's original view that females should not train in offensive bending), Suki (changed Sokka's originally sexist perception that females should behave like damsels in distress), Hama strong old elderly folk (Iroh, Bumi, Pakku, Hama, etc.) Need I go on?
