"Why does a work have to have 'strong' female characters in order to be valid?"
Not "valid", just "enjoyable", which is subjective. Some people like fiction with strong female characters. Some people only like stories if they have comedy in them, or action, or romance, or drama. It's the same thing- a bit more socially/politically rooted, but still the same concept. Nothing wrong with people wanting what they want in a story. Also, those people tend to enjoy the things they criticize for lack of strong female characters otherwise; there's always something that could be better about any good thing and that's kind of the point of fandom: to discuss a series/movie/show/whatever, good parts and bad. What I'm trying to say in a rambling fashion that lack of strong female characters rarely ruins the validity of a work for the people who use the Bechdel test.
