If a show depicts a man and a woman behaving rather similarly, and the fans look down on the woman for her behavior and not on the man for his, regardless of the writing, misogyny is likely to be the culprit.

Also, just because a show treats a female character badly for her (actually justifiable) behavior doesn't mean the fans have to. Not examining the problems surrounding a female character's portrayal and simply following along with the show's treatment isn't any better. There's a huge difference between, "I hate the way she's handled," and, "I hate her."

I'm not harping on the OP, mind - I don't think internalized misogyny is their problem. I'm just saying, sometimes a fandom's pattern of disliking female characters has nothing to do with bad writing.
