I saw the secret you're referencing. She's getting it a bit wrong, I think. I don't see anything wrong in not liking a female character if you don't think she's interesting/well written/etc, it's the same for a male character. And it's true, many female characters just lack interesting points. It's being bigoted to only like a female character just because you're a girl. There are just as many women who act stupid or are total bitch monsters from hell and you don't have to like them. That's your choice and that's what it's all about, isn't it? The feminists that I know don't prefer women to men, they accept them as equals. Many of them prefer the term "egalitarian" to "feminist" due to its connotation as preferring one gender to the other.
So yeah, there's my little piece on gender and fandom. On that note - OMFG YAY FIFTH SEASON!!! I choose to celebrate with my incredibly hot Sam icon.
