Three words: Pride and Prejudice. There is nothing weak-willed, frail, easily manipulated, or even, for that matter, masculine and disdainful about the the main character, Elizabeth Bennet. She's quite independent, and as witty as heck. ^^

I'd have to agree with [Mister Saint] on this one. While I do enjoy females being cast into strong, central roles, the convoluted, hypocritical rules of political correctness have made sexism against the male half of the species quite the hip undercurrent in popular literature. And that's just not cool, not to mention completely contrary to the "gender equality" that the vast majority of these writers preach.

(Also, to better understand where [Mister Saint] is coming from, do understand that he very often writes females into quite strong, central roles. ;) )
