That character was a direct response to the sexism that women were forced to endure during that time period. That portrayal should never be blamed on Lois. It should be blamed on the men who felt so threatened by her hard as nails Golden Age persona that they tried to dial it back in the Silver Age in favor of "superdickery."<br /><br />Lois is one of my favorite female characters in the genre and I think she's the best civilian character in the DCU hands down.<br /><br />I also think Lois and Clark is the best love story in genre without a doubt and I remain frustrated that DC Comics caved to a sexist viewpoint that marriage "holds a man back" in their relaunch by screwing with it. I'm even more letdown that Lois seems to be more and more marginalized in the new 52---shoved behind a desk and "replaced" with a new love interest. What a shame.<br /><br />I actually think Margot Kidder and Erica Durance are similiar in that they are both kind of rough around the edges. <br /><br />To me, Erica was kind of the combination of Margot and Teri Hatcher. She had Teri's modern approach and humor/energy combined with Margot's kind of....hard edged, toughness.<br /><br />Erica's Lois was rough around the edges but she had that heart of gold. She always seemed in control of her body and her sexuality. The show tried to exploit her on a number of occasions but something about Durance's attitude never let her be exploited. Even if she was going undercover in a sexy outfit it was like you could hear her saying, "i've got this. I've got this."<br /><br />But yeah...overall...Lois Lane is love. She doesn't get enough love from DC Comic at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23471698.post-13466181132105450472012-01-24T20:46:43.234+00:002012-01-24T20:46:43.234+00:00Very nice. I do like Lois. Actually I like the OR...Very nice. I do like Lois. Actually I like the ORIGINAL Lois, who was sensational, I have less affection for crazy-trying-to-marry-Superman Lois, although I do still like her, albeit in an exasperated sort of way.<br /><br />But brown hair on Lois annoys me for some reason.SallyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05592635194271250605noreply@blogger.com
