It is taking a while for parity to come to pop culture. I wonder if this is the war the Pagans missed when Catholics came for them in the dark ages?
Right now I'm still thinking about the role media (and pop culture gatekeepers) play societally. In particular I'm thinking about the Chiefdom polity size split between war chiefs and religious/moral chiefs. Why do societies need moral gatekeepers? I suspect big societies do. We had religion for a while. But governmental pacing and leading of religion means we've left the sweet spot where society was equally balanced between secular moral chiefs and religious moral chiefs. And, we're clearly seeing Media (and academia) trying to take the role of the new moral chief.
