Line 122:
* Arguably, Saavik in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' movies: there was a definite pattern to Vulcan names in [[Star Trek: The Original Series|TOS]] (men are called Spock, Sarek, Surak etc.; women are called T'Pau, T'Pring, T'Lar etc.) and she had a name that fitted the male pattern. (Since then, we've seen Vulcans whose names don't fit either pattern, but at the time...)
** The character was originally conceived of as male, and wasn't switched to a woman until later drafts. They kept the name, though.
* Alex, the main character from ''[[Flashdance]]'', works part-time as a welder in a steel mill. The [[Wrench Wench|character]] is initially introduced behind an opaque welding mask and [[Men Are Generic, Women Are Special|presumed male]] by default.
