I love general American storytelling about gender-related monkey-wrenches. Ya know, such 'talk' is scandalous in free-speech limited nations such as Iran and Cuba. That's what I'll be toasting this Thanksgiving, so let's all hope for the best (i.e., no major terrorism act between March and November 2017).
Don't you love politics-optimistic comic books? One of my favorites is G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics).

Snake-Eyes and Lady Jaye were best friends and 'team-mates' on the patriotic crusading American paramilitary organization known as 'G.I. Joes.' They were in charge of (among other things) the distribution of G.I. Joe action-figure iconography trading-cards, which had become new age 'Uncle Sam' postcard symbols of American values. Snake-Eyes and Lady Jaye believed there should be trading-cards made of the figures comprising the enemy-team of the G.I. Joes, the international terrorist organization known as 'Cobra.' However, Duke (the leader of the G.I. Joes) believed distributing images of Cobra figures would be dangerous.
Snake-Eyes and Lady Jaye were given a minor crime-detective assignment in Moscow, involving a serial killer known as the 'Night-Slasher' who was stalking Russian prostitutes. This serial killer sent a notice to the Moscow Gazette, which read, "Russian women are liberally registering themselves on American online mail-order-bride sites, so I declare that Moscow's traffic woes are simply that --- Moscow's! We raise our own women...and we KILL our own women!" The Night-Slasher was responsible for a total of 20 murders (all prostitutes), and the deaths occurred by strangulation, throat-cutting, gun-shots to the head (silencer-pistol), and poisoning.
Snake-Eyes and Lady Jaye staked out Moscow at night for a full month before spotting the ski-mask wearing Night-Slasher trying to kill yet another prostitute. The two G.I. Joes jumped on the psychopath and tied him up and turned him over to the Kremlin. They then went home and reported their success to their leader Duke. Duke, however was busy answering political criticisms regarding his 'censorship' of G.I. Joe trading-cards that featured images/figure-models of Cobra agents. Snake-Eyes and Lady Jaye winked at each other, and Lady Jaye told Duke, "It would be my pleasure Duke to help clear your name with some savvy gender-angled marketing!" Lady Jaye planned to market the Cobra trading-cards of female agents (such as the diabolical Baroness) as incendiary symbols of gender-politics (to detract attention away from Duke's censorship of all Cobra trading-cards). The plan worked, and eventually, Duke sanctioned the production of Cobra trading-cards (perhaps the fact that he was now married to the Baroness facilitating things!).
