Re: 149.
So...I mean, I don't hate a female character insomuch as I just hate they way they're being written? A lot of them have potential, but then they come off on screen as...just "Augh, why! T__T" or sometimes they even start off really good, and then...somehow, the writing just takes them downhill. It sucks.
I guess I'm just drawing on my time in the BtVS/AtS fandom where people called misogyny because there were those who found her annoying. But the truth is, she did get annoying as a character later on in the series. Ditto for Dawn. By contrast, I didn't find a lot of character hate* for females that remained well-written: Fred, for one. Faith, Cordelia, Drusilla, Darla. Even in Firefly, there's generally been love for Zoe, Kaylee, River, who're also all quite well-written.
Don't get me wrong, I do agree that sometimes, people can set unreasonably high standards and that does get somewhat irritating. It's like, if she gets angry and yells, she's a bitch, etc, etc, and don't get me started on the people who hate on women for getting in between their slash 'ships or something.
But I also don't think the above is the sole cause or even the major cause of fandom female hate. There's a legitimate reason behind it, too, which lies in the actual writing of female characters.
*This is drawing entirely upon my own experience, so it is possible that I just wasn't looking in the right corners of fandom and missed some of the hate.

Re: 149.

Yes.
And you caught me before I could edit out "major cause" because what I meant by "not major cause" is that they are both equally responsible but that didn't quite come across the way I wanted. DX;;
