I know I'm lucky to be among women who not only like female characters but are productive and fannish about them.
But I've never thought about how lucky I was to fall in among them from the get-go when I first met the Sam/Jack Horsewomen of Stargate SG1 fandom, all of whom really liked Sam (and Jack, but mostly Sam) and most of us wrote fic and squee'd and LJ'd about her.
I don't think I'd have been as fannish if not for finding people who were as focused on female characters - and who wanted to be productive about them, thereby pushing them further into fannish consciousness.

Dear fan,
I did say that my post was not the place to declare that you were a speshul snowflake.
Out of several hundred people, you seem to be the only one who missed that - the last thing on the post, and highlighted for extra notice.
But, no, you have to say that you are not like that, you speshul snowflake, you.

The MCU Civil War "Team Captain America/Team Iron Man" graphic on Tumblr just makes me want to make a "Team Maria Hill" graphic. Tagline: I'm surrounded by idiots and you want me to pick a side?
:D
