Sexism Shown in a Fiction Character that I Love

It was so difficulte find a character for this topic. I was thinking in all the movies that I like, and finally I found it. 
X-Men it´s a group of mutants superheroes, who fight with others mutants for their opposite ideals.
In the group of mutants, exist a woman character called Mystique (or Raven Darkholme, her civil name). She have the power of change of forms, she can transform herself into whoever she wants, equaling even the voice. However, her really body is what you see in the picture, a blue body with scales.
In the start, she used to belong to the X-Men, one of the good, because Professor X was her best friend, but then she changes her mentality and she begins to be faithful to Magneto, the main enemy of the X-Men, obeying his orders.  She transform in beautiful womans to cheat Magneto´s enemies for after kill them, principally to get some object or information. This shows us a woman who is under the power of man, and also, she lets herself be manipulated by "love". And we can think that, in this case, the woman just can get something through her body.

    She is an extraordinary character! How sad it's to be represented under a sexist gaze. Xmen movies are super good but the director should consider on this topic

Why did you choose this career/study programme?

When I was a child, I always was so talkative. Also, I read a lot, so I have a good vocabulary. For those reasons, my choices were always in the humanist area. Other career options were Psychology, Social Work, Theater, History and, obviously, Journalism. The  indecision affected me in my last year of high school, but finally I decided for Journalism. I've never think that I can study in the University of Chile, but now I'm here, and I'm so happy, it's a good university with higly tried professionals. In the future, I would like to work in the radio or appear on the TV. Too much friends told me that I have the personality to do it that.

Childhood Series

I remember many series of my childhood, but the ones that I remember the most were the ones that I used to watch on weekends in the mornings, in the section "Cubox". Series like "Los Pulentos", "Diego y Glot", "Malcolm in the middle" and, the most important until today..."The Simpsons". Those are the series that I watched the most, but I remember others were also incredible too, like "Johnny Bravo", "Codename: Kids Next Door (KND)", " The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy", "The Flintstones", Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends", "Ed, Edd & Eddy", among many others that I watched in others national channels. (Yes, I watch a lot of TV). As I previously said, "The Simpsons" is the most important TV serie in my life, it's my favourite one. Now that I've grown up, I understand that The Simpsons is a serie that laughs at society, has an important soci...
