I do think that "male character suffers loss/fear of loss/is threatened with the posssibility of something bad happening to female loved one" is an overused and often badly executed trope, and yet - themes of loss, grieve, a desire for revenge or closure are common themes and backrounds and motivations for fictional characters, especially in certain types of canons, and I personally think the problem basically boils down more to a lack of female protagonists in these types of canons than to anything else?

I've always wondered about this myself. Would people give female characters a pass for angsting in the same situations?

Yes, but not because it would make the writing any better; it would be because it is more socially acceptable for women to express grief and fly off the handle because of it. You know, the usual BS about women being more inherently unstable than men.

Hell forbid a female character do anything eventually rational and coherent because of a personal tragedy, like Gabby Giffords did IRL.
