They really don't, though. Female characters are dragged to hell and back compared to male characters. Women fans will bend over backwards to woobify a dude they find attractive, the bend over just as hard to find reasons why female characters are terrible and deserve to be hated (e.g. Cassian Andor is a paragon of virtue, despite the fact that he made such a stupid mistake in his opening scene that he had to kill an innocent disabled ally, and despite the fact that he's portrayed as hating himself. All of his decisions are great and make perfect sense, because he's fighting fascism, so how dare anyone question him? The actor who played him is Mexican, which means that if you don't like him, you're racist against Latinos. Meanwhile, Jyn Erso is a terrible irredeemable racist, because she talked back to Cassian and Saw Gerrera, and if you don't hate her, then you too are a racist. She should have deferred to the men. It's super offensive that she had the gall to lead a bunch of men. She was oppressing them!). It's absolutely internalized misogyny.

I recently got back into fandom stuff (not Star Wars, something entirely different) and see this kind of behaviour among our female-dominated fanbase a lot. A female character will be nitpicked and judged much more harshly than a male character, even if they make the same human mistakes or share similar traits.

Sometimes it makes me think I'm somehow in the wrong for not disliking the female characters as much as many other fans do.
