This. It's incredibly sexist to put male characters on pedestals and say that the only good way to write a female character is to write a male character and then just switch the pronouns.

A good female character is a female character who is written with just as much depth and complexity as the male characters, not a male character with the serial numbers filed off.

Not really.

Male characters tend to be better-written than female characters because they're written neutrally, as just plain "characters" Characters who are male usually aren't written as "male characters" the way characters who are female are written as "female characters."

There's nothing sexist about wanting a female character whose personality doesn't revolve around her gender.

No. There are badly-written male characters all over the place, people just tend to overlook or excuse it when it's a male character. It's a perfect example of the ridiculous double standards fandom has for female and male characters: a male character can be as flat and one-dimensional as can be and still get people fawning over them and talking about how awesome they are because they're an attractive dude, whereas a female character is anything less than 100% perfect in every way and immediately you get everyone saying "see, no one ever writes female characters well."

To use HP as an example: look at how much attention and love from fandom that Blaise Zabini got despite being essentially a non-entity in the books. He was not a well-written character by any means, yet fandom loved him anyway because he happened to be described as being attractive.
