The love thread is an excellent idea, even if I do feel like some of these women are justifiably hated. Mainly because I have a pathological hatred of some of them, which I like to pretend is quite reasonable and justified.

Huh. I find myself torn between "wait, there are people who hate her? But she's wonderful!" and "No, actually, she is awful. If I was writing her I'd have done something very different."

Interestingly, I've realised that the characters I hate are all due to a borked bit of writng somewhere along the way. Every single one, I've loved the actor in something else and seen where the character could have been tweaked.

Damn those writers for fucking over perfectly good female characters. Sucks that so many men are shit, doesn't it?

Men write shittily. Trufax.

I wouldn't say all men ever in the whole world, but it's fun settling down in front of the telly, starting a timer in your head and seeing how long it takes for Bechdel's (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BechdelsRule) Rule to kick in.

Some nights, the clock never stops.

Well, no. But since the point was 'loving' the hated characters...

Whoot! Thank you. =)

Because you are strange. Obvsly. And, um, don't appreciate the deeper tropes involved in hating on vaginas.

I think. Maybe.
