Agreed. Yes, some female characters are written poorly, in a stereotypical and/or sexist way. But it is far from the majority. And there are sexist and/or poorly written male characters that don't get this "disgust". I hate that male characters are seen as the default and female characters are held to a higher standard and seen as work. (The default part starts young. I taught preschool for 20 years and went to grad school for a school library degree, and girls are absolutely expected to want to consume and relate to media with male protagonists, while boys are not expected to do the same with female protagonists (just look at Disney princess movies vs the Pixar movies centered on boys), and it sucks.)

Sexist male characters get 100 times the disgust that sexist female characters get from the side of fandom we're talking about, try again

Then obviously we are not in the same corners of fandom. Tony DiNozzo was arguably the most popular character on NCIS (part of two major slash ships and two het ships) and was sexist as hell. How about you try again.

lmao no they don't, so long as the fandom likes them sexist men will have their bad traits filled off by fandom to make them better to work with.
