Grumble grumble I have high coherence-standards grumble also I like ass-kicking grumble grumble.
FWIW, I also think Tom Clancy could stand a good kick in the patoot (or possibly six weeks of Communist summer camp), and I haven't read much of the remaining authors you cite. I agree, of course, that the literature of exclusion still exists; but to see it on network television, where the whole idea is wide appeal, is a bit mind-boggling.
I mean, wrestling has female characters. Who wear bikinis and have capped teeth, but, within their "stories" those female characters have agency and consciousness.
