We're Still Stuck with "Strong Female Characters" Who Are Smug, Mean, & Reductive. "a grating tendency to write the same kind of female characters, a series of tired tropes that inevitably leave us with women who insult everyone and never betray the vulnerability that actual human beings possess"

That site really needs to hire an editor. The number of typos is ridiculous.

The writer is a professional paid writer.

That's the best comeback you can think of? Being a spelling nazi? That was a joke 20 years ago, it sure doesn't fly today.

The very fact that that nobody is a "professional, paid writer" makes it all the more mortifying that they cannot spell at a grade school level. This is what you get for lowering the bar of acceptability for the sake of the "diversity" agenda -- i.e., anti-intellectual plebes being apologisists for idiocy. Let's see how much you wish there were more "spelling Nazis" after they diversity hire pilots who crash into edifices, and electrical engineers who bring down your power grids...

Paid, perhaps. Professional? That blog post has a lot of issues. I saw repeated paragraphs, typos, and the content lacks analysis of the subject, and ends without a conclusion.

I don't disagree with the premise. I just think it's poorly written.
