Looking at the first sentences apart from the remainder of the secret is the problem, I think.

I read it this way: OP hates to see young female characters written as childish brats, because in her experience, the author expects the reader to sympathize with these characters and see them as "feisty" and "strong," rather than the selfish, rude and petulant children they actually behave like. In other words, OP sees it as bad writing because in her experience, it's never done well.

And OP is attributing it to malice on the part of male authors, perhaps, because she suspects that these authors don't care for assertive, self-confident women, so they write such women as overbearing and selfish.

I am looking at the whole secret. You're looking at one sentence in isolation from the rest of the secret. And then you want to come and talk to me about how I'm not good at analysis and just can't understand how someone might be objecting to bad writing and need to be talked to in short sentences.

You know who should learn to fucking write better? OP, that's fucking who.

What I'm doing is looking at that sentence in connection with the rest of the secret, and as the key to the rest of the secret.

You were snippy and patronizing in your initial post--"sorry you can't empathize with flawed characters"--and then you claimed that there could not possibly be any other way to interpret the secret. One snippy post deserves another!
