I would actually like this if she had done her research and acted in a professional and unbiased manner.

The concept of psychological archetypes was advanced by the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, c. 1919. In Jung's psychological framework, archetypes are innate, universal prototypes for ideas and may be used to interpret observations. A group of memories and interpretations associated with an archetype is a complex ( e.g. a mother complex associated with the mother archetype). Jung treated the archetypes as psychological organs, analogous to physical ones in that both are morphological constructs that arose through evolution.[8]
Jung outlined five main archetypes:
The Self, the regulating center of the psyche and facilitator of individuation,
The Shadow, the opposite of the ego image, often containing qualities with which the ego does not identify, but which it possesses nonetheless,
The Anima, the feminine image in a man's psyche, or
The Animus, the masculine image in a woman's psyche,
The Persona, the image we present to the world, usually protecting the Ego from negative images (like a mask), and considered another of 'the subpersonalities, the complexes'.[9]
Although archetypes can take on innumerable forms, there are a few particularly notable, recurring archetypal images[citation needed]:
The Child
The Hero
The Martyr
The Sky Father
The Great Mother
The Wise old man or Sage
The Wise Old Woman/Man, archetypes of the collective unconscious
The Damsel in distress
The Trickster or Fox
The Devil or Satan
The Scarecrow
The Mentor
The Warrior
The Threshold Guardian, a test to test the Hero.

Jung also outlined what he called archetypes of transformation, which are situations, places, ways, and means that symbolize the transformation in question. These archetypes exist primarily as energy and are useful in organizational development, personal and organizational change management, and extensively used in place branding.

Today on AusForums -

Bill Gates talks about poverty and ways to improve the world.
Someone wants attention because they're not happy with how girls are portrayed in video games.

So to suggest it is a product of the sexist 70s and that there is a disturbing recent trend to re-use the damsal is just ignorant.

hahaand last but not least: In a politics thread somewhere, someone called someone else a c***.

Comments disabled on her youtube vid page? So much for encouraging discussion.

Yes my argument is based on science.... problem?

I can't be bothered getting into it, the point is many people who get into story writing 100% believe in this because of books like "Hero With A Thousand Faces" and so if they use a Damsal in Distress they're not doing it to offend women, they're doing it because they believe it is a real concept that pushes the right buttons in the human brain. Lots of psychologists believe it. I believe it too.

Sprayed my screen with saliva lols.And lols @ the hoop earrings comments. Ive always thought big ass hoop earring were worn by chicks, both IRL and in media, that want to ooze sex appeal.

Feminists are just being difficult and dishonest. They didn't see a Disney movie as a kid and think "gee that feels wrong to me". They were taught by man-hating b****** to find these 'problems' everywhere they look despite the fact that the things are perfectly normal and sensible and come from a good honest appreciation for life and the differences between men and women and the roles we play in the natural world. I'm not talking about the world where women wear flannel and men wear eyeliner because their alcoholic dad left and now they are confused about gender.
