...often complained on this site about how Hollywood movies ignore women, or turn them into figures of fem-machismo. Now I see that, in the burliest genres, men's roles are being feminized.

Forward Mike Riordan is still noted for defensive tactics that befit a bouncer, but he has also developed into a competent shooter.
