Characterization of feminists

Feminists are often (perhaps usually) (surely not always?) given stereotyped depictions in media, particularly so-called "mainstream" media. Even in works which purport to be "feminist" in some fashion, featuring competent female protagonists, for instance, representations of politicized feminism (as opposed to a subtle, feminine, and certainly not outspoken feminism) follow a tiresome pattern of negative characterizations: Judgmental, shrill, strident, fatally PC, naive, stupid etc.

For example:

• Eco-feminists in S.M. Stirling's Islands trilogy (deluded, shrill, fatally PC)
• Women's Wicca group on Buffy Season 4
• Connie Willis' "Even the Queen"
• The feminists in Lois Duncan's Daughters of Eve (non-SF but sort of gothic/spooky/psychological horror)
• The Lilith House women on Veronica Mars (non-SF) Season 3
