FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME.

[splash_the_cat]

Because dsudis herself is awesome, she posted the following, and it's turning into an awesome "Top ten women I think are awesome right off the top of my head" meme:

So I was adding some new interests to my LJ profile (because I, uh... have some new interests. Yes.) and found myself feeling defensive every time I typed a female name, thinking, basically, FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME, because I felt as if someone somewhere was going to be criticizing my love for them.

So, anyway, then I made a list of women who make me want to say FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME. They are far from the only women who are awesome, or the only women people need to be told to step off of, but they are the top ten I feel that way about, right now, off the top of my head.

If you want to argue with me about the awesomeness of any of these women, I am afraid I will simply be referring you to the subject line. THAT IS ALL.

FUCK YOU, SHE'S AWESOME:

Sam Carter (SG-1)
Jennifer "Pilot" Chase (Captain Power) (Jessica Steen in general is awesome)

CJ Cregg (West Wing)
Zoe Washburne (Firefly)

I could go on and on and on. And I think I will.

And I could still go on and on and on. This is just off the top-of-my-head TV characters (and I may add in a few more egregious oversights throughout the day).

Other lists of AWESOME WOMEN! The comments on these memes are just filling me with glee.
