Almost all of AMC's big hit shows are bursting with misogyny. Walking Dead is really no exception. Honestly, I am getting tired of the 'kill the female' that seems to happen in so many shows--Rita in Dexter, Lori early this season in Walking Dead. But more than that I really find fans always hating the female character is really disturbing. It's 'cool' to hate Skyler in Breaking Bad. It's cool to hate Andrea. Or Michonne.

Andrea's made some bad choices: she's almost the stereotype of the woman who allies herself with the most powerful male--Shane, the Governor, etc. It's partly survival, I guess. But Shane made mistakes, and this season has been nothing BUT shitty decisions made by Rick having terrible consequences. Yet strangely no one seems to want Rick to be tortured, huh? That's what I have a problem with.

I don't care for Andrea, but the absolute insistence on hating the females in these canons really is beginning to get old to me. Internalized misogyny much?

Oh noes, people not liking female characters? We got some MALE PRIVILEGE that needs to be checked ASAP!

When the fandom at large hates Lori and Andrea far more for their bad sexual/romantic choices than they hate Rick or Shane for any of their numerous fuck-ups... yeah, it's sexist.

Fandom's hatred of Lori actually made me start liking her in protest of all the misogyny being thrown her way. And when I got spoiled that they'd killed Rita, I stopped watching Dexter entirely. I reeeally don't get all the Michonne hate; she didn't get much character development in the first half of the season, but the vitriol aimed at her for "the things she did to the Governor" is just bizarre.

Andrea kind of frustrates me, though. Her vagina is basically a psychopath detector, and she seems willfully blind to things which strike me as painfully obvious, even when considering only the things her character has been allowed to see. I personally don't want to see her tortured, but I've been screaming at the screen for her to stop being so fucking stupid for most of this season (actually, in much the same way that I've been screaming at Rick).

The fandom's reaction to women in this series kind of disturbs me, too -- mostly during season 2 with the "Andrea good, Lori bad" dynamic, but now with the virulent Michonne-hate. My complaint about how fandom has reacted to Andrea this season has been objections to her becoming "less badass" rather than her being incredibly naive and gullible. That's really been my complaint about the fandom in general -- in which being "badass" and killing shit is the main criterion for liking a character, rather than having thoughts, feelings, or characterization.

I can agree with pretty much everything you've said about Andrea. Frankly, I never found her badass, she seemed more like a wannabe badass to me.

A really fucking stupid wannabe badass.
