I'm a little hesitant to say Anita's a guy--because just as women are so much more than the narrow boxes society pushes them into, so are men. Rigid, binary gender roles drive me crazy. (Currently dealing with some BS from my fan club right now with some of them speculating if I'm really a woman because I'm not an insensitive dick. Sometimes.) I think maybe Anita is LKH's rigidly binary, entirely chauvinistic idea of what she thinks makes being a man awesome. LKH's idea of a man is like those advertisements you see in the back of comic books. Send in $2.99 and we'll send back an AWESOME MEGA SUPER SPACE GUN. Only when the package shows up, it's just Anita: a cheap little laser pointer painted up bright and trying to look badass.
...that was a totally mixed metaphor and kind of wandered off track there. Wait, what point was I trying to make?
