This is a huge deal because as people in the movie business know the absolute hardest thing in the whole world is to persuade a straight male audience to identify with a woman protagonist to feel themselves embodied by her. This, more than any other factor, explains why we get the movies we get and the paucity of the roles where women drive the film. It's much easier for the female audience because we were all brought up grown up, identifying with male characters from Shakespeare to Salinger. We have less trouble following Hamlet's dilemma viscerally or Romeo's or Tybalt or Huck Finn or Peter Pan--I remember holding that sword up to Hook--I felt like him. But it is much much much harder for heterosexual boys to be able to identify with Juliet or Desdemona, or Windy in Peter Pan, or Joe in Little Women or the little Mermaid, Pocohontas. Why? I don't know, but it just is. There has always been a resistance to imaginatively assume a persona, if that persona is a she. But things are changing now and it's in your generation that we're seeing this. Men are adapting--about time--they are adapting consclously and also without realizing it for the better of the whole group. They are changing their deepest prejudices to accept and to regard as normal the things that their fathers would have found very very difficult and their grandfathers would have abhorred.
