	Gail's objection seemed to be more along the lines that Zinda would never do it with Helena (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

To be honest, I don't know Zinda well enough. I mean, to me she reads as though she'd be a lot more amenable to mixing sex and teamwork, and that's what I based my opinion on. I don't recall Zinda ever showing sexual interest in females before, but given the subtext there being all about Hal bagging two hot chicks, I thought the lack of previously shown interest in women would go without saying. So that's why my argument concerning Helena was about the team aspect - and not as in 'playing for the other'.

That said, if Gail thinks Zinda would never do it with Helena specifically, I'd love to know why.

Gail:
I could see Lady Blackhawk, actually. Two pilots having some sexy fun, okay, I get that.

But I hate to see Huntress get branded as a slut again. The whole point of the Josh story was for her to realize she deserved better.

And I can't see them doing a threesome, that affects their friendship, and the Birds were ALREADY one of the very few books about female friendship which is so fucking rare in comics it might as well be moonbeans captured in mason jars. Not that friends can't have sex, but once again, this is all about the man, and "Well played, sir" is just, ugh.

...

In re-reading it, I do think the two guys are acting in character...GA being a bit of a dick, betraying his liberal beliefs as he often does (you can't be a feminist and still slap your buddy on the back for his vagina scoreboard), and GL trying not to talk about it seems pretty truthful to me.

It's a good scene, just wish they had used someone other than the Huntress. Zinda I can see, but together with the Huntress is really unfortunate for a lot of reasons.

...

Well, no one, because Zinda wouldn't hop in bed with another woman.

But if you take Zinda out, there are plenty of more appropriate females in the dcu, including some I've written. I could see a couple Outsiders being game for it, Jeannette or Knockout would certainly be up to it. It's the combination of characters here that bugs me. Zinda and Helena are friends, and them getting naked together to give Hal the tongue bath treatment that so many writers seem to secretly be longing to give him (I AM KIDDING, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE), is just hugely out of character in my opinion.

...

I'm not judging anyone for having a threesome. People can have a twenty-seven-some for all I care.

It's these two particular characters who wouldn't do this just to make Hal look studly for the gillionth time this year.

...

Zinda likes BIG guys.
