One more thing. Did you ever notice that Carter is written mostly like a man? She is a soldier, she lacks femininity, and her character isn't so complex - most of the things she does on the show has to do with technobebble. She was SG - 1's token woman. Where are the deep (romantic, even!) feelings? They might be hinted at but not really adressed. Where are the mistakes? There are none - okay maybe just one. But my point is, her character doesn't threaten the concept of male dominating world like Elizabeth's. (and the way they write Carter is again another form of discrimination - fine, we'll ahve a woman in the show, and she gets to be a soldier too, but she won't be a real woman. Really great.) *phew* The psychologist in me just gets angry every time I encounter prejudice and discrimination against women.
Been there. Posted my first post. Still feeling anti.
Oh and not to forget the cheering up parisindy requested: I got engaged. Felt too happy to feel anti.

I used to work at a law firm once upon a time. There were 4 senior partners, one of who is a woman. We had gone to lunch one day, and conversation went to family life. Her comment to me was "I am a lawyer first, woman second and mother last. And you need to learn this too, because this is the only way you will get ahead in life". That was such a surprise to me. How can there not be more balance? Why does my work have to be the top and my family and myself take a back seat?
Carter definitely deserves her promotion, if for nothing else, for being a part of SG1 for so long. I just wish they wrote her softer? That is not the word I am looking for, just can't find the right one.
