This is pretty much spot-on. When people talk about stopping comparisons between female characters, they're talking about both the tendency to reduce them to/compare them based on feminine stereotypes and the tendency to act as if there can Only Be One. It's as if people think of there only being a certain number of available slots for female characters, and so can't accept when there's more than one female character with a particular characteristic. And, well, that's a problem.

Interesting. You're implying that we've all internalized the Smurfette Principle on a level we're not even really conscious of. That makes a certain amount of sense, really.
