Hey me too! I always find strong female characters written as these brusque (idk if that's spelled right), stoic, cold or plain rude and bully-like people and it puts me off so much. Like you just know that if there is a woman soldier in the book/movie or a woman warrior/biker/worker - anything even remotely "tough" she will be that character. As a woman, every time I read that I'm like yikes. I belong on that "tough" scale by profession but jeez I am not a shit human being for it.
