I read somewhere that people thought that when there is two female Power Rangers, that one is more feminine and one is a bit masculine. I want to look at each pairing (even non pairing) to see if that is true. In most cases, it was not true, both were as equally feminine. Only in some rare cases, it was one feminine, one tomboy. Now when I say Masculine, I don't mean like the stereotype for lesbians, just tomboy, I never liked the name tomboy because it meant the girl was pretending to be a boy.

SAMURAIMia - Feminine, 'big sister', Can't cook-supposedly un-feminine but that is just a social convention. Lack of cooking skill doesn't make you less a woman.
Emily - Feminine, 'little sister,' when she gains confidence and 'trains' Bulk and Spike, she gains a 'masculine' authoritative persona. I say 'masculine' in quotes to say the traditionally socially-acceptable role.
I remember I kept waiting for Cassidy to be a pink ranger (and maybe for Devon to be green), but she never did. I guess I just didn't understand the concept of comic relief characters back then (although it probably had to do with some toys I saw at a fast food place that covered more colors than just the ones used in DT)
ReplyDeleteWhat about Samurai and Super Samurai?
ReplyDeleteLook at the date. This was before.
ReplyDeleteEmily and mia are both feminine. But there is so many issues with mia not being a good cook.
