Occasionally Snarky and Meta

I actually find the term ''strong female character'' to be problematic in itself, since it implies that ''strength'' consists of certain specific characteristics, and because you then have to decide what makes a 'weak' female character. And, typically, a 'strong' female character is defined as one who fills a traditionally 'male' role (action hero/scientist/soldier etc) whereas women who show traditionally 'feminine' traits are derided as 'weak'.
