I think there's a pretty big difference between "strong characters need to undergo trials" and "strong characters need to get raped!" Then again, this is certainly something plenty of authors need to learn. (And sometimes it's not even that stark, but is still annoying--I've seen way too many female protagonists, especially in Japanese fiction, who flinch away from dangerous situations long after their male companions have become accustomed to fighting, with the implication that this is to be expected of a female lead.)

Yes, this. "Great strong male characters who never have a moment of weakness" are not great characters, they're boring Marty Stu's. Characters of either sex are not well-written if they easily triumph over all adversaries and there's never a moment of doubt that they'll succeed. But it's shameful that for female characters, that "moment of weakness" or "trial" keeps taking the form of rape.
