MISSrepresentation


I love seeing positive representation of women in the media.
Feminism doesn't seem to be doing so well here in Hong Kong; I've been hanging out with a new friend, the other day she complimented me, telling me that I was really funny, adding 'and I thought humour was only a male gene'.
A red light went off in my head, there's something up if there is a lesbian walking around your city thinking women can't be funny. Something terrible is obviously up.
How can little girls aspire to become their funniest selves when they don't know women can be funny?
We need more positive female role models on our screens, so girls know they can grow up to be cool, funny, powerful, strong, smart, opinionated, creative, or just generally awesome.
