In the film version of John Buchan's 39 Steps which I saw the end of last evening with Keneth Moore, he had a female sidekick who was handcuffed to him in the plot. She was a pill but the interesting thing was the way Moore dealt with her: like a little misbehaving child. He had to constantly chide and reprove her for her delinquent emotional spasms and petulance. She is a typical female, unstable and resentful of her inferior status in the sexual food chain.
Such a film would not be made today or if it was they would have to change it to show the woman as the heroine and Hannay as the incompetent bungling male who looks to her for guidance and direction. This is how men are depicted on adverts now. ('Sexism' - that heretical impulse, is apparently okay if it is inverted.)
Such writers as Buchan are out of fashion now of course if not banned, along with Enid Blyton's Golliwogs and Agatha Christie's Ten Little Niggers. Po faced PC fascism has rooted them out and we have instead children of four being subjected to sodomite homosexaul books in school. Those who predicted such when they repealed clause 28 have been vindicated. Paedophile homosexuals are now grooming your children gentle readers (all four of you). But what do I know? I'm just a bigot and homophobe....
