It could be worse. Like when the dog starts gagging and you race to the door to let her out and the sight of her vomiting makes your "let's inflict random nausea on my host" stomach turn over and you decorate the patio right next to her. Can't even handle water right now, argh.
Weak, useless female characters. The ones who are there so the guys get some eye candy and don't really serve any other kind of purpose other than Hero's Girlfriend. Or are there so they can get abused/raped/whatever and give the Hero his Purpose. If the only ones in Distress are Damsels and not Dudes, I will not be reading or watching.
Also, stupid and pointless sexualization of women. If I ever become a superhero, there will be Kevlar, armor inserts, and steel toes. No midriff tops, heels, or spandex that lets the villains see my bellybutton. If necessary, I will track down the designers of my male colleagues' wear and force them to make me something similar at gunpoint.
