Weakness does make people human, because we all human and therefor weak. However, being weak also gives us the chance to be strong. Strong Independent Woman characters are boring. They are as thin and uninteresting as male power fantasy characters. Every character, male or female, with any depth has a soft side. That's the real reason I think people want to see female character's soft side, to know that they're just like the audience.

Exactly my point. We love male characters for having flaws, but somehow letting a female character demonstrate any weaknesses or vulnerabilities or be anything other than a Strong Female Character every minute of the day, somehow degenerates them? Why, exactly? Isn't that what makes for good drama, forcing a character to have to work with or overcome their flaws in order to accomplish their goal?

But then again, male characters can be flawed without somehow being accused of promoting regressive stereotypes of men everywhere. Tony Stark is a womanizing alcoholic but no one accuses him of being a horrible role model for all the little boys who watch his movies. But female characters are still somehow expected to represent their gender as a whole. Tony Stark doesn't speak for guys everywhere, but somehow Natasha is expected to speak for women everywhere.
