Main points of: The Hunger Games would be no country for glamorous women

Some of the main points of the article include:

The Capitol is the 'luxurious seat of evil.'

Hatred of femininity is linked to hatred of women.

The series does not hate women, espeically since the main heroine is a woman.

Katniss rejects the traditional roles of femininity. She is the provider for the family, hunts (illegally) and sells things (illegally.)

The feminine roles Katniss is put into are generally forced upon her like the way she's changed for the television presentations. She wears the fancy dresses not because she wants to but because she has to.

She states she is not interested in marriage or in having children.

Peeta is committed to the romance story.

Finnick was sexually abused by those in the Capitol.

There is no comfortable gender role for Katniss.

To be a hero in the games means you need to use masculine weapons to kill the others in the games.

Katniss does not enjoy killing others at all. She will do it but she will nto enjoy it.
