Ok. So. Thing is, there are as many opinions about what feminism is as there are feminists. The fact that someone who self-identifies as feminist says something that irritates you and with which you disagree does not mean that you are excluded. Please don't go :) I am a feminist and I know what a tomboy grin is and I totally am not committed to only writing positive female characters. In fact, I sometimes (often?) have arguments about this with feminist-id'd writers.

My thing is to just write a lot of female characters. A variety. Very many are deeply flawed. Some are villains. Some are protagonists. Etc. But a lot of genre books and films/shows only have one token woman, and that woman ... many readers and viewers feel that she needs to be perfect. Diversity and variety takes care of this, imho.

I am not going to argue this with Bakker, though.
