This is a good post and you should feel good about it.
Also, there was a big mess on tumblr last week where a teenage girl said she quit a (male-authored) series because she didn't like the female characters and found their depictions sexist, and other girls/women started giving her shit for turning her internalized misogyny against other (fictional) women (written by a man), and one of them had the nerve to say that nobody ever drops a series because of male characters, no matter how sexist they are. BULLSHIT! I didn't reply because I didn't want to get into it on tumblr, but that's just so obviously untrue. People stop watching/reading things because of badly written, offensive, sexist, or otherwise frustrating male characters ALL THE TIME. As is every person's right!
