By the EU government, led by a woman? Or by the former US govt which nominated a woman for president, twice? One of them black? Or Switzerland which had a kind of female president already? Or Russia who has a female head of the national bank? Or by Ukraine who had a female prime minister? Or by the UK which had a queen for decades and several female prime ministers? Or EU central bank which has a female president? Or Germany which had a female chancellor?

Ripley: Wait a minute. If we let it in, the ship could be infected. You know the quarantine procedure. Twenty-four hours for decontamination.
Dallas: He could die in twenty-four hours. Open the hatch.
Ripley: Listen to me, if we break quarantine, we could all die.

still revolutionary today, considering all others have come up with, is to replace the gendered hero with a gendered heroine.

Yeah I don't think the franchise ever followed up about the cat. Was he also frozen for 50 years? How is he doing now?

Prometheus was even more explicitly that. The female protagonist has an alien monster in her womb and asks the robot doctor for an abortion. The robodoc says it's only programmed for men!

She has to improvise...
