- Boy, women are really taking a beating in QL with these two
- episodes. We are pictured as evil, shrew-like witches. The only
- positive images are those of daughter or servant or 1950's style
- wife. This is the old 'woman as downfall of man' Judeo/Christian
- stereotype that I thought we had thrown off a long time ago. Now
- I see that we still have a lot of fighting to do. I as a 35 year
- old woman found myself fighting feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
- about just being a woman! Think how a young girl growing up watching
- these episodes would feel. It is no wonder to me that women do not
- achieve as much as men do when there is these kinds of negative images
- of women pervading our subconsciousness. I expected better from Quantum
- Leap, I know they can do better!
