Nothing says the cat loves you ...

... like when he's been sitting on your lap purring for thirty minutes straight, jumps to the ground, throws up, and jumps right back into your lap and starts purring again.

*sigh*

I have been watching The Riches. Oh, can I have a Sammy? I promise to buy him lots of hair clips and pretty dresses. *cuddles*

So anyway I've spent the entire night (after I got up from my nap because, seriously, I got something like three hours of sleep this morning) working on writing stuff and I was just wondering -- what do you hate in a female character? I mean, what details about a female character will make you stop wanting to read about or watch them anymore because they bother you that much?

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.
