What makes a good female character?

Periods, but not for the reason you think. Menstrual blood doesn't contain much blood. It's mostly the discarded lining of your uterus, mucus, various other fluids...and an egg.

All of which reeks like rotting meat if it's not cleaned up quick.

Yup. Women are so beautiful.

You gotta wonder why werewolves eat/chase people if we smell/taste so bad?

In modern times, it's really a question of scarcity.

There is no good game left freerange, almost, unless you can time your monthly change to be somewhere rural or in a dense forest.

Being Human stated that how humans and Wolves digest meat is so different that one of the first things a werewolf does after turning back into a person, is that they evacuate their stomach of all poorly digested meat.

What about Period based Magic?

It's tied to the moon.

Werewolves are tied to the moon.

They're the same.

Similar magic forces depending on how similar they are, like magnets, can either attract or repel... The right sort of menstrual cycle can repel werewolves?

Sweet.
 
In the Buffy movie, one of Buffy's special powers was her period. No joking, they acted as a vampire warning system.
 
Which would have stopped Buffy from making time with Angel when they first met and she wasn't completely aware of the condition he was in.

Is Buffy short for Buffificient?

(No, "Elizabeth" apparently. If Joyce hadn't died first, Buffy's Tombstone would have said Elizabeth and not Buffy? Stoopid kids. Stoopid Hank. There are some people in the fandom who have some serious problems with Hank Summers. You know that Tara and Willow literally kidnapped Dawn from Hank after Buffy died.)

But the definitive vampire menstruation story (yes, this is a trope) is probably still SOME OF YOUR BLOOD, written way back in the 1950s by Theodore Sturgeon.

Yes, the same guy who wrote "Amok Time" and "Shore Leave" also wrote a novel about a vampire who (beware of sixty-year-old spoiler!) feeds on his girfriend's periods.

Everything old is new again. :)
 
I was told that LeStat did that too.

Although seriously if they each could be sustained by the out pouring of one menstrual cycle every 28 days, vampires are hardly the threat anyone makes them out to be.

Any idiot getting between me and a box of free Donuts is probably in more danger of harm.
 
Yeah, Lestat did that. I believe it was the book that eventually resulted in Rice going on Amazon and telling critics that they were 'interrogating the text from the wrong perspective.'

So maybe I'm wrong and the scene didn't really have Lestat going down on a nun, whilst slurping the blood directly out of her vagina with his incredibly long tongue.:shrug:

The description of that scene ladies and gentlemen, is why it's all too easy for some people to believe Rice anonymously wrote 'Sub Rosa.'

EDIT: I might read that Sturgeon story. Can't get a new hard copy in Australia, but it's only $3.60 on kindle.
 
What?!!! My least favourite episode of Star Trek the Next Generation???

Bev, I know you're old as dirt, but you don't have to resort to necrophilia yet.

Actually what's worse?

Ghost####ing?

Or taking your mother's sloppy seconds, which turns out to be your grandmothers sloppy thirds, that turns out to be your great grandmothers sloppy fourths, which turns out to be... 200 years of ginger Howard women had to have taken it's toll on Duncan Regehr.

Zorro is loco.

It wasn't until I was much older that I discovered Beverly's beauty.

Hmmm?

Was that Spaceghost going to try and shtupp Wesley down the line?

Oddly enough, Wesley became a Space Ghost in the end.

Sounds like a match made in the heavens.
 
The power of women is not in the feministic fights but in wisdom and tenderness ..)

That's a meaningless statement. Part of feminism is recognizing that wisdom and tenderness are just as important as strength and aggression, and that neither sex has a monopoly on those qualities. And yes, feminism is about fighting for equal rights, but that fight has been waged over the generations through activism and political action and setting a positive example to inspire hearts and minds. One can fight using wisdom and tenderness.
 
I will most definitely second that! Seriously!

Strong with the Estrogen We Are?
 
If I flap my moobs fast enough, I think I can fly.

Yeah, lets blame that on estrogen rather than a terrible diet and mostly sitting on my ass for the last 15 years
 
:lol:

I am a little less delicate, and refer to mine as manboobs. But, the good news is, they are diminishing, due to a latelife Dietetic Conversion, and Realization. Still, I think I could manage a Hughy manouver, and hover at least!
 
But, back to the OP, I had kind of a revelation to amended my Post, because of the substance of your's, Guy, and It is this;

What also makes a good Female Character is a writer(s) and an Actor who understands perspective and sensitivity, as it relates to the character AND the Gender of that character; in this case, Female!

(I can be reached through my Agent, Mr. Guy, for information on accepting my Director and Writer Muse Award)
