Yet, male characters rarely get judged this harsh, even by "feminists"... hmmm...

...I've never understood this. I've always been much harsher with male characters, because my dad raised me to believe that it's okay when girls make mistakes/are afraid but men must be perfectly calm and self-assured at all times unless they are ANGRY, must NEVER CRY, and be perfect at everything. Manly, that is. If they could cook or sing or draw there was something wrong with them. My mom pretty much reinforced this idea, too. If she or I fucked up it was OH LOL ONLY TO BE EXPECTED (which was it's own kind of aggravating, but still) but if my brothers did they were a complete failure as a man.

As a result throughout my formative years I forgave female characters pretty much anything, but when that wimpy fucker Shinji started bawling in Evangelion I couldn't stand him anymore. It took me years to work through it an accept that I could like male characters who weren't bullet-spitting ultramen. And that even characters like Shinji could be strong.

...Did seriously no one else have an upbringing like this? I constantly see women in fandom writing off some clumsy weepy moron as a "woobie" as long as he has a penis and "pathetic, worthless bitch" if she has a vagina. And I have to wonder: what were their fathers like?

Food for thought.
