EVANSKOL: Friday--gender bending in the machine age

[Jason Kimble]

I just wanted to ask if we're going to see any more of the "Friday's
gender" debate that ran through Power Pack. In the most recent issue of
New Warriors, Alex uses the masculine pronoun, but then he always did, so
that's hardly an authoritative source. Personally, because of her
mothering/nurturing style, I've always thought of Friday as a she
(besides, she's a ship, and ship's are always female :>).

Actually, I have to wonder how Friday's voice could be so
absolutely androgenous so as to keep the debate going as long as it did ;)

I've always thought of Friday as a he, but that's probably because I'm a
he. Since Alex introduced Friday as a male, I suspect the Warriors will
simply take his word for it (unlike Alex's siblings, who made it a topic
of furious debate!).

Ever listen to any Alison Moyet? Or closed your eyes during "Maude"?
