The problem is when there's no horrible thing happeneding to them to test their physical or emotional strenght they are immediatly considered Mary Sues and "unrealistic". A woman who owns a company but isn't secretly suicidal and wishing she had a baby? This can't exist in real life! She has a boyfriend who loves her? Omg, can't exist! Men would never like a woman in power. She is sucessful? No way, she needs to have a horrible childhood trauma or else I can't feel good for her.

This complaint also tends to come from women ( feminists or not) more than from men.
I'm not trying to excuse this mindset, btw.

Well, when nothing ever happens to a character to test their strength, physical or emotional, they are Mary Sues. It's just that the trial of strength doesn't have to be horrible abuse or rape.
