And now, a feminist moment from Metal Gear Solid

"It was her choice. She was my little brother's girl. He and Meryl's mother never married, so Meryl uses her mother's last name. My brother died in the Cold War when she was ten years old, and since then I've been watching after her. She's old enough to make her own decisions, although she's not even twenty yet. She's a good soldier, Snake. She's quite adept at hand weapons, and I think you'll find she's quite good at stealth. She knows her way around computers and electric circuitry as well. If you can find her, she could be a valuable ally once you're inside."

Snake didn't particularly want a teenage girl as an ally, no matter how good she was at repairing burned-out wall outlets.
