It's almost reverse denial of the strength of women in the past, to make them do bull-headed and man-only things to be true heroines. The preponderance of them is primarily the issue, I think--some of the best characters are bull-headed and play with swords or disguise themselves for a walk-about or play chess.
(Have you read Seven Daughters, Seven Sons?)
But women have been going through with arranged marriages and birthing babies and sewing sheets AND running their husbands thus the world or other deviously feminine things that are quite amazing. And not acknowledging that is very sad.
Thanks for making me rant, JADE. >.<
Whoa. I never saw the parallel there with the insomnia. What a find! Lucky duck...
