I agree that fandom...not all, but certainly a selection of it, has that narrow point of view. That they deem every female character death automatically makes the writer a misogynist. That we should all be somehow embracing and reveling in any and all female characters just by the sheer fact that they happen to have the same damn genitals as us *snort* without ever looking deeper and thinking, you know, perhaps that woman being killed actually furthers the story arc rather than proving the writer is a horrible misogynistic bastard, or perhaps, you know, that woman is actually written HORRIBLY and deserves the hate she's getting (not the woman herself, but the CHARACTER, big difference) rather than being deserving of said "feminists" adulation for her simply because of where her reproductive organs are located. It's rather sad really, to see these "feminists" actually hating on REAL women, their fellow fen, because said fen disagree with them about a fictional character.

I'll be the first to get on the Boo!Bandwagon if some writer actually IS being misogynistic but what qualifies as misogyny lately seems to be a writer not giving a female character QUEEN status but actually treating her like a real human being that makes mistakes, lives, dies. *snort* Apparently to these particular fannish poppets all women should be worshiped like goddesses, even if they're the worst written characters in the history of television, books and movies all put together. *facepalm*
