And on the topic of gender and class, and how we make ourselves feel better when the system is set up to privilege certain people: http://zahrawithaz.livejournal.com/15680.html?thread=136512#t136512

I think fiction often has to ease power imbalances between individuals and groups, so that we can empathise with both. How the creators do it ... that's the key. Are we made to feel sorry for them and want to save them, are we made to see one individual as magically special or wise, or is there a real equalisation?
