We all know some of the greatest stereotypes that both fiction and real life are trying to overcome (*coughs* Disney Princess *coughs*)

This is quite obviously expanding what is available for women in fiction...but what about male fictional characters? What has changed to broaden their spectrum of personalities and character?

It may just be me, but from creative clothing (TERA's Power Ranger Armor this past Halloween ) to the personality/background...male characters in fiction often seem to be the same as 10-20 years ago.

This is not meant in any way to launch flame wars or anything (And if I worded this poorly I apologize). This is for intellectual/creative discussion of these things:

1) Female character aspects
2) Male character aspects
3) New aspects for both
4) Possible gender neutrality/post-humanism
