This kind of reminds me of a rpg I used to run. It was Harry Potter universe focusing on a magic school in Japan. My friend created a character who was an incredible girly-girl. The Played-by was a pretty attractive girl. Yeah, she loved Quidditch but she liked to watch it not play it. And she was a heavily closeted lesbian. In her words, "Sexually, she lives in Narnia and probably, due to cultural reasons, will probably never come out."
One of the players in the game, which earned her much ire, was, "Oh, she can't be a lesbian! She's too girly!" And she wasn't even saying it to be facesious. She said it as if to say, "Lesbians are butch!"
Also, I really wonder if the person who wrote that even noticed Merida looked somewhat interested in the big buff guy or at the end she let the guys try to court her like a normal person.
I'm sick and tired of a portion of feminists ruining good things. I read one review that said, "The fact that the father was accepting of her is false because the movie doesn't take into the consideration the concept of patriarchy." Why, so fathers can't be supportive of their daughters? When my dad said he was so proud of me when I finished up my tour of duty, was he supposed to say get back in the kitchen you dumb floozy?
This constant criticism of female characters has gotten to the point in which I don't want to write female characters because I don't want these types of feminists to destroy it because she doesn't fit this ideal, an ideal that I don't even think these feminists know what it is anymore.

All that article does is reinforce stereotypes.
