They are complex characters who are allowed to be as flawed as the men around them - which in itself is rare, IMO. There's often this need to make female characters "likable" otherwise the audience might aggressively and misogynistically hate them (though lord knows, they often do that anyway). Notice how male characters are almost never held to this standard - audiences have no issue rooting for the likes of Walter White or Tony Soprano.(less)

I am happy about it. (less)
