Female characters are poorly written in most cases. If you don't think so you've not sat down and seriously thought about it.
I can't watch most TV because the writers' ignorance and prejudices almost always show through. Take a media criticism course and see if you still feel like female characters are well rounded and more than just tools for the male characters.
You're a tool for believing everything you were fed in classes. Those classes use the exact same shit arguments that "intellectual" fans do, and the fact that it's a teacher saying it doesn't make it more valid.
