I love female energy


What am I talking about?

After everything I have said, it might be difficult to wrap your head around what I just said.

However, it's true, and always has been. There are benefits to masculine and female energies, after all, they're just yin and yang (contraction and expansion, at the most fundamental level).

What I mean, though, is that when there's a 'cool female character', I am intuitively attracted to it. Not sexually (necessarily), mind you, but due to the 'sleekness' and the speed, the form, the beauty of motion and so on.

It's hard to explain, but to me, there's something inherently more appealing to Chun-Li than Zangief. To me, a big, masculine mass of manly maleness is just boring.

I mean, if I think of 'Hulk' or 'The Thing', it can be cool sometimes, but I am more interested in something like a 'female ninja', like 'Taki' in the Soul Calibur series, or all those female Hong Kong Kung-Fu masters, that look so amazing on-screen.

There's such a thing as 'female charisma', where it's important she's exactly female, but at the same time, instead of sexual, seductive, cute attraction (which can be fun, too), she's expressing something 'cool'.

A perfect example of this kind of radiating screen presence is 'Cynthia Khan' in the 1990s Hong Kong-movies. I never think she's 'attractive' or 'beautiful', but I have to almost say out loud 'she's so cool!' every time she's doing her magic on the screen. She has a PRESENCE that truly radiates something amazing, but it's not your typical 'fall in love with me'-attractiveness.

Yet, it's not exactly masculine, either. It's still feminine energy, but in a more 'cool' form than usual.

When I watch movies like 'Ghost in the Shell', I am captivated and inspired by Motoko-san's cool movements and the diving scene always leaves me mesmerized. The old game, 'Oni' had something similar with Konoko-san.

I don't mind the 'cute' and 'beautiful'-type female energy, either, it's very enjoyable. However, I just want to point out that there is this OTHER type of female energy as well, that's also tremendously enjoyable, inspiring and maybe exciting.

That's the kind of energy I think of when I think about this movie, but then I watch the movie, and realize this movie doesn't really HAVE that, despite trying the 'anime poses' and other stuff to appeal to men.

Still, there is something organically amazing about certain types of female energy that you sometimes get a glimpse of. As opposed to the clunky, bruteforce-type masculine energy (it has its place, too), I am always more interested in the fast, sleek, agile female energy type. It's like differently spent action points again, the masculine puts all points to strength, but the female spreads it around to agility, speed, maneuverability, stealth, and so on.

This means the female form becomes smaller, thinner, more athletic, which is an advance in stealthy, sneaky situations, where you move as a shadow from one corner to another without anyone noticing. Maybe that's why I was always fascinated by the Ninja, because they always seemed to utilize this kind of non-confrontational, more manipulative and secret style energy than the direct, open brute force.

F-19 is infinitely more interesting a plane to me (not only due to its beautiful and unique shape) than just a regular, bulky, ugly fighter plane.

So I will keep choosing a small, sleek, fast, agile character instead of a bulky, heavy, slow rock monster. By the way, you can even see this stuff in very old games, like 'Archon' - both sides have sleek, quick, superfast-shooting characters sitting near bulky, enormous, slow-moving monsters that shoot enormous boulders that are easy to dodge.

Female energy can be amazing, when done right. Women could be such powerful 'kunoichi' types in movies - workign in subtle ways to mesmerize men, poison them, seduce them, work in the shadows, sneak around the back, feign helplessness, and so on. Heck, some movies dare do a LITTLE bit of 'utilizing female power', as in Austin Powers 2: The Spy Who Shagged Me, where the female protagonist shows her female body to a henchman with predictable results.

It's hard to train men against a direct, psychological reaction that happens when a female 'treasure' is suddenly shown to them. In a world, where such resources are scarce, and movies don't dare mention them, men are extremely vulnerable to that stuff. So if they made movies that utilized female powers properly, we'd get some AMAZING, very unique and diverse stories, instead of these 'women mimic men but are better than men'-stuff-type movies we always get.

Sigh.. well, maybe some day..
