Is it unfair to dislike characters because they are "strong" female characters?

Do you know that terms like disingenuous, dishonest, sexist and so forth, when describing arguments, are really a form of ad hominem argumentation?

Saying, "please block" or the equivalent, rather than addressing the points being made, are another form of attacking the person, not the argument.

Although I'll admit enough (too much) of it has gone around.

The points being made are not worth addressing when accompanied by such constant, obvious, and deliberate misconstruing of others' points. Such blatant attempts to make the other party look ridiculous are at least as antagonistic as more direct 'personal attacks.'

Actually saying an argument is sexist or dishonest or misleading or disingenuous is not necessarily an ad hominem attack.

For instance misrepresenting someone else's arguments is a dishonest form of discussion.
