My story is of a crime fighting heroine, who can fight like Steven Seagal, but the gang of crooks she's fighting are women. I wonder how people will react. You can see it here, https://www.wattpad.com/ . You have to join, it's free, then search authors for 'Homersdad', that's me, and you'll see a story called 'They call her Petal'. It's not complete, the site wants stories submitted in installments, I'll update it every few days. It's violent, but no fatalities. I also hope it's sexy and works as a story.
To sum up how I think 'action' tv and cinema works, women are there as eye candy, men as targets for violence.

Hello Try,

Oops! My apologies, good sir. Thank you, for placing the link here. Although, the work you described is not really my cupa'. I prefer your other materials wherein, the women defend themselves from (genuine) harm by destroying the masculine 'seeds of power'.<giggle> This is different from a woman committing a vicious brutal sexual assault on a man, because he 'stepped out' on her or made a crude remark! BTW, I understand why, you ceased producing such materials. I agree with your last sentence. However, I think more women are there to commit violence these days.

Warm regards,
Messalina
