What do you want, feminists?

I ask myself this question many times when it comes to the portrayal of fictional woman and treatment of real women.

1) How exactly do you want female characters in games, films, etc. to be treated? Especially when they have darker, grittier undertones (Arkham City, anyone?)?

2) What do you define as respectful and non-sexist? I understand the things that you don't want, but I have yet to hear a feminist define what they DO want.

It's like the Sonic fandom.

They bitch and moan about what they don't want, but they don't say what they DO want.

Oh god, No there's too many female characters in video games. :T Anyways, I can't imagine team fortress two as all women. :T It'll mean casting all the voices we already know and love and throwing them away for crappy voices. Also there are already female characters, Chell! Gotta love Chell because she's a silent protagonist! Do feminists want to ruin this amazing concept by making Chell speak?!? Or do they want her to wear more because a tank top is showing off "too much". There's Cat woman, she's awesome! What do they want her to be the good guy, because I'm pretty sure there was a movie or video game where she worked together with Batman (i may be wrong). 
And god damn, I never met a man who's "sexist", only women. Here's what I know of femenism (fuck yeah, spell it wrong): Molly claims that Roy (her "boyfriend") is sexist when:
-He questions why she's dry humping another man right in front of him
"oh you're so sexist, only making me love one man."
-When he refuses to be used as a stool because his leg is broken
"oh you're so sexist, you're worthless, now stand on all fours or I'll beat you in the face"
-When he refuses to let her drive (She lost her drivers license! She shouldn't drive. :T And also that's Ashley we're talking about! Roy's truck, the one he's emotional attached to, if anything would happen to his car, he'd want to die again.)
"Oh you're so sexist, nobody cares about your stupid car fettish!" (It's not a fettish btw, he loves his truck as a daughter. Ashley is considered part of the family and she's currently 7 years old (from the day he first started building her to now) and she's been running on the road for 3 years now. She's been the center of attention for a long time, and she's never failed them.)
I could go on, but I'm too lazy. Point is, everything is "sexist" in a woman's eyes. Am I the only sane woman on this Earth?!?!?!?!??!
