Secret 6 - Sexism in media, strong female characters (warning for sexual violence)

[transcriptanon]

warning for sexual violence

[Picture is a drawing of a woman? with hair reaching her chin. There is an arrow pointing to her head with the word "me" and then the word "Hi!" floating next to her.]

A lot of people talk about strong female characters and how often they go through emotional torture and that's how you're supposed to write strong, badass characters. But there are so many great strong male characters who don't get threatened with rape, emotionally tortured, or any of the things that strong female characters often go through.

Why can't a female character be strong, badass, and not have a moment of emotional weakness or be motherly in some way like some great male characters? It's just not fair that female characters have to be raped or tortured or break down crying or want to have a baby to be considered "strong" while male characters don't. I just want a few badass women who don't start sobbing, or get raped, or get all motherly about everything, but there are so few of them.

I know there are male action figures who go through that stuff, but not nearly as often, even adjusted for the huge difference in numbers of male and female action heroes.

Sorry for the text wall, here's a picture for you.
