What about Mother Brain? Surely that need to conquer and destroy stems solely from her internalized misogyny.

Funny thing about that Ridley bit there…. I saw this on a Metroid Wiki.

"Despite being shown to be a male through the logbook scans in Metroid Prime, Retro Studios designer Mike Sneath refers to Ridley as a female. In the original Metroid manual, Ridley is referred to as an "it"."

Well I guess according to Brianna's logic, Ridley's a female. Because ONE person who worked on the game said so. =V
