Krystal Ball is a modern feminist badass running for Congress despite a racy photo. She also speaks to the obvious awful name issue.

Who else is wonderful today?

Thanks, I saw that. It has a lot of good stuff, but I have to agree with the comment on the Jezebel post about it (http://jezebel.com/5661155/flowchart-know-your-stereotypical-female-characters) that reducing Ripley to a Final Girl is a bit much.

There are a few of those characters I would argue but I appreciate it a lot.
