Gee thanks, I went to women's college, you think I don't know this?

Also, to be entirely honest, there are a LOT of female characters in books that I love unashamedly. Virtually every female character Tamora Pierce has ever written. Hermione Granger. Mercy Thompson. They are imperfect, yet still strong, smart, interesting, and independent.

My issue is in the portrayals of women in (most) television and film that are geared towards mainstream audiences. These characters sometimes annoy me for no reason, like Allison (there's really no reason I shouldn't like her until at least Season 2). But other times there are very good reasons, like poor character development or tendencies towards too-perfect (why should I enjoy a character that I can't relate to on any level?)
