Sexism isn't just relegated to the clothes a person wears either. It's just as much to do with how they're portrayed and the kinds of poses, activities, and personality they're given. Wilykit is fun-loving, uninterested in finding a boyfriend, helps out the ThunderCats when she can, scarfs down food just like her brother, and has fun pulling pranks on Snarf and whoever (again, just like her brother). It also says something that Wilykat doesn't talk down to her. Being orphans, they're pretty much each others' best friend, and they stick together through thick and thin. He never treats her like a burden because she's a girl. They're partners in crime!
Here's some more food for thought (and one of the things that really got me thinking about this whole issue. That, and my media class)
