Question #8

Joah enquires:

Why is it that women warriors in role playing games and TV shows (from Wonder Woman on) are always in bikini like clothes, whereas men are clothed in full armour?
I assume it's because women are just stronger and don't need as much protection when they go out to kick ass.

You are, I'm afraid, mistaken. The reason women warriors in RPGs and TV shows are scantly clad is simply because those games and shows are toyetic.
In the efforts of each toy company to outdo the others, market research has shown that female action figures lack a good "Now With [insert verb] Action!", and have decided to set a status-quo and go with a common denominator, as you can see from the following photo of a mint condition Wonder Woman action figure.
