This. (Destiny)

The world is most assuredly sexist. Our society is sexist. Most societies are sexist. It sucks and it shouldn't be that way.

But is it sexist to create a story within the framework of the aforementioned sexism in a way that neither approves of nor decries it, but nonethless bears elements of it and mimics it? That's a much more complicated question and answer.

Of course, I'd hesistantly suggest that there's basically no important characters at all in Destiny, but Cody has a point.
