4. Gross misrepresentation and distortion of facts in order to bash female characters, a common issue in fandom. Belittling and making things up to deny their importance, their strength, or their positive equalities is a pretty ugly thing that gets aimed at female characters.

5. There are types of strength besides \\\"face smashing\\\", and a good feminist work acknowledges them by allowing female characters to be more than just the \\\"Tough Chick\\\" (re: Guy with Boobs) and the Girly Girl love interest.
These attitudes are not good, as they are used to undermine and shove women into little boxes. A woman that shows emotion is labeled weak, and a woman who is not a bigger badass than everyone else is labeled a damsel. A woman can have a relationship without being \\\"pathetic\\\" and \\\"man-pleasing\\\". A woman can \\\'\\\'choose\\\'\\\' whatever role or path makes her happiest, and shouldn\\\'t be judged if she\\\'s a career soldier \\\'\\\'or\\\'\\\' a housewife. Both are equally valid choices in life.
