I agree that there are an inordinate number of female characters who are overly emotional, baby-obsessed, and maternal to a stupid degree, but there are almost as many female characters written by self-righteous misogynists who can't see past their own ego who are utterly robotic, condescending, and rude. It's like female characters are defined by how well or not well they relate to other characters, and male characters are defined by how well they carry the plot along.

I do think the discrepancy between how many male characters in mainstream media are threatened with or undergo rape, but you're deluding yourself if you think that emotional torture as a plot point is exclusive to either sex. Peace and perfection does not a story make unless the peace and perfection are a cover for some deeper conflict. It takes some sort of problem to make a story.
