True love in the 1990's!

Lois and Clark

Lois and Clark is another interesting series that 
helps to teach people the way things really are in 
a time when the news media all over the world is 
bent to serving special interests and concealing 
the big picture from respective populations.

Lois pays tribute to a respectable feminism.  By 
respectable feminism, I mean feminism that 
pushes for equal rights, without becoming a role 
reversal of misogynists men hating women by 
creating a culture of women hating men, such as 
what is popularly viewed as the Gloria Steinem 
school of feminism, designed to foment hatred 
for men and divide women who believe in justice 
into a splinter group that can never attain 
solidarity with a general population interested in 
justice per se.  This is done typically by taking 
any group interested in a particular injustice, and 
elevating radicals within that group that cause 
the group to be identified as a perpetrator of 
other injustices.  That is another story.

In a symbolic translation of the historic 
Superman legend, where Lex Luthor is simply an 
evil demented genius, in Lois and Clark Lex 
Luthor is a corporate CEO with no boundaries 
on how he will achieve profits for his 
corporation.  Thus Lex Luthor's evil has not 
changed, but how this evil fits into society has 
been demonstrated by example.

In creating this relevant scenario, Lois and Clark 
has again demonstrated how fictional TV can be 
more educational and informative that the 
propaganda News Media and politicians turned 
demagogue's by the nature of politics and the 
media in the 1990's.

In another explanation for the deluded masses of 
the true nature of today's realities, Lois states, as 
she is trying to collect evidence to incriminate 
Lex Luthor, "evidence is what separates the 
successful businessman from the criminal".

Without more ado, Superman has always 
represented the very righteous values of 
justice and fairness in an imperfect rule, and 
also character that is built on solid ground 
and not whimsically self serving.  Lois and 
Clark bring the best of these values and 
frame them in the 1990's, with warmth and 
wit!
