Girls are not peripheral: Time to kill the ‘Smurfette principle’

[Whisp]

3. even Moms are smurfettes in some movies. too many of them.

we've all seen it. for an example: Some predator invades a house with a family of a mom and her 2 kids, a boy and a girl. The boy is much younger but takes charge and shows his brilliant leadership and calm and great ideas while the whimpering females cower in fear.

There's a part in Jurassic Park, the first one. Where the young girl, her brother and Sam Neal are hiding high up in a tree. A non aggressive dinosaur comes near and 'snots' the little girl. The boys laugh at the cum all over her face.

A fight scene occurs between 2 men and a woman is present - usually in the process of being rescued by hero. The men struggle and she slinks in a corner when natural instinct would be to jump right in there to help, but no. She's a helpless damsel.
