God bless women! Can I get an amen? While it may seem redundant to sing the praises of women on a site for gay/bi women, I say we can never lift our voices high enough when it comes to the truly inspirational women of this world. I’ve always looked to other women, real and fictional, as my role models. Whenever I’m feeling a little down, I use their wit and wisdom to lift me up. Whether on the big or small screen, something about the righteous (or riotous) indignation of a woman is just so satisfying. It practically sizzles. So in honor of Scribegrrrl’s impending departure (sob, sniffle, bawl!), let’s burn bright with sisterfire today. The Linster and I have assembled some of the best speechifying by fabulous female characters to celebrate the fabulous female that is Scribe.
Bette Porter (The L Word): No additional explanation required.
Julia Sugarbaker (Designing Women): Sugarbaker sisterhood is powerful.
Buffy Summers (Buffy the Vampire Slayer): Are you ready to be strong?
Miranda Bailey (Grey’s Anatomy): Five rules to live by.
C.J. Cregg (The West Wing): With friends like these.
Captain Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager): Live long and, well, you know.
Thanks for the memories. Feel free to share your own favorite female character moments below. So, now can I get that amen?
