So if I understood correctly, Alien is a sexist film? 
Does this also mean that Metroid games are sexist, since Samus as become an object of desire which you control, and her dangerousness only excites us male players because it plays with sexuality?
Now I want to make a game with a female lead character who doesn't fall in those categories. Or... maybe I shouldn't let the player control her. I think that's a bad idea. What do you think?
