121: I want to agree with this secret, I really do. There are a lot of interesting, complicated "girly" female characters and they don't get anywhere near as much love as they should. But you had to tack on the part about "hating men." I can't think of a single tomboyish female character who is explicitly misandrist. Unless the character comes out and says that she hates men, there's no good reason to assume that she does.

Oh well. I guess I should be glad that you're not accusing all non-girly characters of "pretending to be men" like the last person. When will we figure out that we can praise one woman (real or fictional) without degrading another?
