Bless you for writing this. I just hate all of these (more than likely female) fans for ranting about all of the stuff they are with Irene, because in the end it's only hurting them and their own sense of identity as a woman.
I myself was concerned with ASiB, but for different reasons. Irene's character is very easy to mess up, and I knew that if Moffat failed to handle her dynamic with Sherlock properly, the whole episode would fall apart. In my opinion, the complete opposite happened, and I was both thrilled and relieved. I wasn't surprised at the reactions of other people to Irene's portrayal, but like I just said, it makes me sad more than anything else. So, again, thank you for writing this up.
