Well, of course! Women are a monolith with three variants: Hot Love-Interest Girl, Geeky but Still Hot Girl, and The Nag.
(Now I'm sad thinking of how many women on TV fall into those three categories exactly! Sigh.)
Actually I would love to hear your rants on Buffy! Hearing people give Joss Whedon unqualified feminist kudos makes me itch. Sure, he got some things right, but other things... eenh.
Checkpoints! Yes! That's so true. Of course she has to want to be pretty, be unreasonable at times, and usually be either man-crazed (under 35) or baby-crazed (over 35)...
