In the movie Conan The Destroyer the women were portrayed a lot better than I expected them to be given the readings we were assigned in class. Both the book and movie focused a great deal on the female characters, as they initiated and presented the quest, or lead the men along for a good portion of the quest.

The two prominent female characters

Wearing revealing clothing is totally up to the person who chooses to wear it, but the media prefers women who wear less just for the enjoyment of others. Just about everyone in the world feels the need or want to be accepted by society.
