Sarcastic flowcharts have become ubiquitous internet fodder (along with things made out of Legos and Star Wars variations). Even if they're not very good. But books intern Anna Minard just sent me a link to the Female Character Flowchart, and it is too good to ignore.

Bonus free idea: Someone should devise a unit of measurement called a Bechdel to rate how awesome a female character is.
