    Considering the long, ongoing history of female characters (and real women, to be frank) being derided or dismissed for any number of “flaws” not held against their male counterparts, I don’t think that generous, context-less assumption is really worth merit.

        Ummm…the majority of human history? Are you seriously expecting me to spoon-feed you a history lesson here? Just Google “Women’s rights” and see where that leads you, though I have the notion you’re not actually looking to learn much.

          You explicitly mentioned an ongoing history of female characters treated unfairly compared to their male counterparts.

          The minimum you should be able to provide is a female character and its male counterpart.

          If I search on Google “women’s rights” I don’t find that.

            Dude, I literally started the thread with an example. Regardless, I’m not here to convince you of basic historical precedent, nor am I interested in falling into the trap of you quibbling over whatever other example I could mention to dismiss any and all context like you already exhibited you will do.
