I think because people take a narrow-minded view of "strong female character" and indeed a narrow view of strength itself. Strength is an ability to accomplish work, and it comes in many forms, physical and mental. Most forms of women's strength are not respected; in order to earn respect, women have to act like men. I resent that.

Yeah, when we re-watch this on DVD, I'm definitely planning to pay more attention to Kitty's role. I suspect I'll notice more clues about her condition when I'm actively looking for them.
