Gender narrative and werewolves: http://jezebel.com/5461712/the-tyranny-of-sexy-female-werewolves-in-pop-culture
Y'all have read me bitching about the shortage of strong women in shifter novels. There are exceptions (Teeth and Patricia Briggs), but those are rare. most werewolf novels have all or mostly male werewolves, or the female were protagonist hates and rejects her power, or they will have a female non-were protagonist with a male were love interest. This pisses me off royally.
"For a horror film to show images of large, muscular, hairy, aggressive women would just be too "horrifying," according to Wiseman and Beckinsale."
