Then why did you post this: "I think a more succinct way of expressing it would be a character that doesn't depend on men for her story to move forward"
Doesn't that make it about gender? I'm just trying to understand.
I may have misunderstood, but I think the person I was responding to was laying out a traditional idea of what a strong female character would be considered and i was chiming in, really with what i feel is the root of the notion. That is, I was taking it as an observation and not a judgment.
