I kinda disagree, there, there's a difference between challenging a character to display their strength, and breaking them down to revel in their powerlessness. It's all in the execution, and, with female characters especially, the execution tends towards hyperfocus on her shattered vulnerability, with any strength before or after being an vague afterthought.

Well said. I think that's why the secret op targeted Joss Whedon.

Because damn.

Thank you, I was struggling to make this distinction in words but you phrased it perfectly. Challenging a character is awesome, breaking them down to watch their pain is... well, it can be very effective and poignant, but sometimes it can make you feel icky depending on how it's done.
