Images of empowerment

Tonight, while referencing this awesome essay about Fonzie as a shamanic figure, I was suddenly reminded of one of my key memories of Happy Days, a moment of pure female empowerment, reminiscent for me of The Feminine Mystique, the moment when Marion, fed up with all of Fonzie's preening, macho bullshit, says "Arthur, sit on it!"
