I don't get the rabid hate. Really, I don't. Not wanting to ship her with the Doctor? OK, that's your decision, and especially if you're a classic Who fan that prefers the Doctor asexual, I can respect that. Just respect in return that I like her with the Doctor.
But why the rabid, crazed hatred that gets heaped on her? I always thought she was one of the most likable female characters around. She has flaws, but they are all normal human flaws that we would also have (like trying to save your dad). She's also brave, funny, friendly, compassionate, and adventurous without being Mary Sueish.
Also, I get annoyed at how many women hate female characters like whoa, but never reach that level of disdain over male characters. Hating on your own gender, much?
