This. So very this. As someone who is both a girl and :gasp: a feminist, I am all about wanting to see more female characters kicking ass and taking names and being awesome. The trouble is both fan and professional writers seem to see "Feisty" and "Strong" as code words for "Female character lacks basic tact" and while they do have some scenes were they knock down some strawmen or take out some nameless mooks, said "Strong" and "feisty" female character only marginally accomplishes more than the old Damsel in Distress-types who'd just faint whenever bad things happen.

Seriously, I keep wanting to kidnap every exec or person in Hollywood that matters and force them to attend a seminar I'm calling "Women Studies." The subtitle will be "Turns Out They're Not All That Different From Dudes." Because it's true; we like some of the same things. We just pack different equipment.
