Rip her to shreds

There have been a lot of entires popping up on my flist of late about female characters, and about why fandom (which is largely female-dominated) can be so critical of them. And while there are certainly a lot of factors to consider (the quality and consistency of female characters, the fact that many female characters are written by men), I think one of the major reasons is that we are (most of us) women. I know, it seems counterintuitive, but bear with me.
