122) I think you nailed it. Something about highly intelligent but socially flawed men is very erotic. It's talent plus emotional vulnerablity all in one tidy package. Though I disagree at least personally about the female being hated for it. Right now I'm completely and utterly enamorored with Tara from True Blood. She's smart but her arrogance and distain of people makes it almost impossible for her to hold down a job or have a relationship. But under that arrogance and smart ass talking is a vulnerability that is utterly sexy to the core. Also, she's damn fucking hot. (http://l.yimg.com/img.tv.yahoo.com/tv/us/img/site/02/16/0000050216_20080717142505.jpg)

I agree that sometimes people like the women for it, though I will say unfortunately rarely in male-lead action genre. True Blood has a female lead, and I find that this makes a huge difference. Fans of female-led shows tend to not be the "I hate all but two female characters ever" types. I'm not sure a character like that would go over as well in SGA, and look how mean almost everyone but the GSR fans were to Sara in CSI fandom.

Well, we rarely see arrogant but smart women in shows without a strong female main cast. Usually if the main cast is male (with perhaps a token female), the female characters are very superficial and not particularly well thought through. If they are intellegent they tend to follow the "wise-mother" stereotype, where they are mostly unflappable straight-men, watching the men flail around with a raised eyebrow and infinite patience. We rarely see them having any solo ambitions or surprising opinions. They tend to be rather boring.

Those who are arrogant are also flat -- designed to be hated in a kind of a binary approach to characterization. Good women are good in all ways all the time. Bad women are bad in all ways all the time.

I love Tara! And what you're saying here just made me think that unlike somebody like House Tara seems aware of her problems. I mean, I can't imagine House saying, as Tara did, that she just isn't good at being with someone, or even considering getting an exorcism. It just seems like a slight difference between the male and female version here. The woman is being more openly vulnerable than the crusty male.
