It's something I like to call "Calamity Jane Syndrome". I got the term from a short-lived cartoon series called The Adventures of Calamity Jane. The problem was the writers were trying so hard to make Jane a "strong female heroine" by never letting her potray "soft" emmotions, be repulsed by men who flirt\comment on her looks, act uber-tough and little else, and hell, the original voice actress was replaced at the last minute because she made Jane's voice "too feminie." As a result Jane was a boring character and her show was off the air in less than five weeks.
