Where's PETA on this important issue?  Every time Fred's order of bronto-ribs flipped his car on it's side, another impressionable grade-schooler, me among them, learned that it's fun to eat meat.

And in a stange, twisted way, I always thought Smurfette was kind of hot.

It must be nice to cherry pick things to make your point. Hmm, Jetsons has Judy, Rosie, and the mother character; Flintstones had 3 female characters; Strawberry Shortcake anyone?

I'm pretty sure most of the ponies on "My Little Ponies" and alot of the Carebears were female. She-Ra? 2 of the 5 original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers were female as well, the Yellow Ranger and the Pink Ranger. Mmmm... Pink Ranger.

Geena Davis... what a tool.

<insert something clever>

So sad to see Geena Davis reject her Smurfette heritage.

Clearly a self-loathing Smurf.

The answer is socialism. But only if the question is:

"What's the fastest way to impoverish, enslave and destroy people?"

Is this a joke? She can't be serious. Girls today have poor body image because some blue funny looking cartoon characters are looking for smurfs who are prettier?

I suppose it's got nothing to do with Hollywood and the fashion industry and all the anorexic models and movie stars. Kate Winslet is about the only star out there who has a somewhat normal woman's body. The answer is never in reality for these people - it's always some lurking conspiracy that they dig for while they miss what is right in front of their faces.

My favorite cartoons are usually pretty violent, like the old looney toons. If they beat up a female character like they do Wile-e, I imagine Geena Davis would complain about that too. Olive Oyl is the only female character that I can think of that is thrown around like a cartoon character, and they would not dare to do that in this day. I just don't understand what she wants. Is this a call for some kind of cartoon quota? If female characters are boring and predictable, that is the fault of political correctness and groups like "foundation to fight for the image of women in children's entertainment". A good image probably does not make a funny or entertaining cartoon character, but she seems to be demanding both.

This from a woman who's only real claim to fame is about 2 woman who hate men and ride around the country Robbing and killing them............She should've stayed home and made her husband a pot pie Like Jane,betty or Wilma

instead she had to be Penelope pitstop with a handgun

Good call Geena.........maybe she's still mad about her failed presidency?

Obviously Geena Davis grew up in one of those hippie households where her parents didn't let her watch tv.  This is what I remember (and I'm a guy by the way):

Josie and the Pussycats - female rock group

Scooby Doo - Daphne (the pretty one) and Velma (the smart one)

The Archies - Betty and Veronica

The Brady Bunch cartoon - Marcia, Jan and Cindy

When Laverne & Shirley became popular, there was a Saturday morning cartoon based on them

Modern cartoons have given us "Dora, the Explorer" and "The Thornberrys".

Geena Davis is a moron. I have seen her in quite a few movies "leveraging" those breasts of hers for attention. What a hypocrite.

While we're at it, why don't we look at the images young boys receive from
watching television sitcoms? First, there may not even be a dad in the
house but that's OK because the single mom is the most virtuous character in America
today. If dad is in the house he is most likely the disengaged but
loveable screw up who mom keeps around because he pays the bills. Even if
there is a two parent family with a stay at home mom, she will complain that
dad never gives her any help around the house. But isn't that her
job? I don't see dad complaining that she doesn't pop in at the office to
"help" him with his job. That brings us to our next rule of
television families - staying at home and taking care of the house and kids is
the toughest job you can do. Dad goes to work to have fun, but mom is
really working hard.

Even though we are in a new renaissance of shows featuring nuclear families,
look at some of the messages they spread about the roles of fathers. In
"According to Jim" the father doesn't even know where his kids'
school is located much less consider going there to meet the teachers and find
out how they are doing. On "Everybody Loves Raymond" Ray
would rather do anything than spend time with his kids, even to the point of
faking injuries to get out of going to family functions. His wife calls
him an idiot in front of the kids. In one episode Ray was about to tell
his brother Robert how Debra and his mother manipulated Robert's relationship
with his girlfriend in order to get him to propose. Before Ray could tell
him, Debra kicked him in the crotch to keep him quiet. It was played for
a laugh. Imagine if a man on TV did a similar thing to a woman. Who
is to blame if today's girls grow up thinking a man in the house is optional to
raising a family and boys believe they have no worth whatsoever. Yeah, we
really have to crack down on the negative messages Yogi and Boo Boo are
sending...
