So, if a woman acts out the sort of fantasies that we see as stupid in a man, that makes her a feminist? I'm not sure I buy it. The game stays the same, we're just letting more players in to kill each other?

If feminism refers to a different consciousness, hopefully one more egalitarian, or less hung up on killing as an empowering act, one would hope that it stands for more than that.

Given the horror of the Holocaust, I can understand the cartoonish response and enjoying some sort of catharsis in seeing some roles reversed. But to be feminist, wouldn't there have to be a different response, entirely?

Or, perhaps we have two things: consumer feminism and radical feminism. Sounds like Sylvie is a good consumable feminist.
