Female Character Flowchart

This has been circling the feminist blogosphere; I know I read commentary on it on Jezebel and Sociological Images, but it's originally from Overthinking It ("where we subject the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve"). I'm not sure if you'll be able to click to enlarge here, but you definitely can from those posts (and, once enlarged, go over it with a magnifying glass):

  1. I have so many problems with this chart that I don't think they could all fit in the amount of characters I'm allowed in this little comment box. However, one of them I will mention is that it really bothers me that a girl must not represent an idea to be a strong female character. Isn't the strongest character one that represents an idea bigger than oneself? Or is that the point?
