I thought it was refreshing to get a male perspective on feminists stereotypes and found it interesting how you disagreed with Cleopatra’s stereotype. I had never heard about the “femme fatale” stereotype but as I read the book I was persuaded to see that she could fit that stereotype. However, it was not until I read your post that I could see that she did not exactly fit that stereotype. I really liked how you argued that she Cleopatra was not a “femme fatale” but, perhaps, ahead of her time. I also agree with you when you say your perspective on the “bimbo” stereotype was changed. The fact that prostitution was, sometimes, the only way to support a woman and her family back in the 18 hundred was a surprising fact.
