We're still expected to color within the lines of accepted femininity, and women who step out of those lines are usually attacked, whether verbally or physically.
On the whole, the experience that the activity of the soul obeys the law of least resistance has been verified even in regard to women's social morals. As a rule, these have been focused on the family and on charity - among other reasons, because woman's sense of duty seldom finds means of expression in other directions.
And verily, a woman need know but one man well, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them.
I think, as an actor, when you're starting off early in your career, you're kind of just seeing what lands. But 'Veronica Mars' definitely primed me to look for surprising, dynamic women. It took me awhile to realize how cool that job was.

Braids are not new. Black women have been wearing braids for a very long time.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.
I think that women really entwine with the people that they become close to in a way that men don't - and so, when they are forced to disentwine, you can't remove the vines without doing some damage.
There is a phenomenal amount of pressure on women in this industry: they are considered vintage by the time they hit their mid-30s.
