I think I may have been a bit harsh, so sorry if I was. I do understand to a certain extent what you're saying, but you can't say that all women are weaker than all men because that simply isn't true--some women are stronger than men, and some men are stronger than women. There's a wide variety between gender and physical strength in the real world (as there are with many other things), and any good work of fiction should reflect that. Neglecting potential female characters just because they're supposedly "weaker" closes off a lot of opportunity and variety in a film and it will most likely suffer as a result, even if it isn't overtly sexist. At the same time, over-emphasising gender and having characters say "look how strong I am because I'm female!" doesn't work either and just hamstrings the film, makes it extremely unsubtle, and ruins it. I suppose it's a tad hypocritical for me to say this, since I've never actually made a film with a female protagonist (this is mainly from what I've observed from other works of fiction) but I hope to rectify that situation one day.

Just a thought here: while I can understand what you mean, I don't think you should actively avoid cartoons just because they are cartoons. The medium is nowhere near as important as the story itself. If the story is strong on its own, the medium does not matter. (Of course, different stories are best suited to certain mediums, but that's another discussion...)
Also, small tip: Try to use a bit better grammar--make shorter sentences and don't use run-on sentences (ones that are extremely long with loads of commas). That way, it's a lot easier to read and everyone will be able to understand what you're saying better.

I'd be curious to know how that came about. She must have been very angry at you to punch you like that, especially since you apologised...
Also, I wasn't aware until recently that Death Note was a TV show, I thought it was just a Manga book series. I did read the first few parts in the library and it was amazingly good, but at the moment I'm waiting until the summer to start reading (since I'll have a lot more time then).

Mad Men is extremely over-rated in my opinion.
