but rather than being fleshed out and given depth, they are women who are basically men under a new name. That doesn't do much to help create a well-rounded female, and doesn't it say more that to be "strong" she has to act like a man? That's part of what I'm pushing back on from the beginning.
Okay. I will ask again:
a) exactly which traits mean a female character is "acting like a man"?
b) conversely, exactly which traits would she have to display in order to qualify as actually being a female character? Apart from, of course, being a female character.
In other words, by which criteria do you decide whether a particular female character is "a well rounded woman" or "a man under a new name"?
