In the US, this is not a law
which is enforced since we do not have a heroine manufacturing
culture. Like everything else, we import our heroine from Afganistan.


You certainly do have a heroine manufacturing culture though I must admit
the numbers are small compared to the heros. Look at Wonderwoman, Lara
Croft, Pricess Leia, Buffy and Ellen DeGeneres. BTW Kim Kardashian is not
from Afganistan but home grown. There are few imports except perhaps
Hermione Granger and Lucy Lawless.

LOL. And Mills and Boon novellas are chock full of heroines (and handsome
hunks) and they do sell well in the US of A.
