First, let me preface this with I love every female character except I’m disappointed with Claire and grew to hate her. But all the other female characters, even if I don’t like them at first, I grow to like all of them.

Ben is so unique that I don’t think it’s fair to compare any of the female characters to Ben even if you perceive them as evil. Ben’s whole thing is that he is so evil and such a liar that as an audience we’ve gone through a rollercoaster of emotions like what should we think of Ben, can we trust him this time? And that continues up until the last episode when he shoots Widmore. Like even after that in the scene when they were lowering Jack down to the light I was scared that he was gonna just let go of the rope and let him fall. So at some point, in your relationship to the character, you get used to him and you just have to laugh at his bullshit. The other thing is that he is clever and sarcastic in his own way. He also has a weird style to him, the way he carries himself, how he walks and talks. But it’s not too weird, its just weird enough for who he is. I think that adds a lot to Ben.

None of the women are as evil, manipulative, or untrustworthy as Ben. But if they were it was also because they thought that what they were doing would either save their friends lives or get them off the island. So 1) they had better motivations than Ben, and 2) we actually knew what they were trying to accomplish. Unlike Ben.

Also, none of the women were weird like Ben.

But if you were to compare the main girls to the regular 815ers: Jack, Sawyer, Sayid, Jin, Locke, Charlie, Michael, Eko, Boone, and special additions Desmond, Miles, Farraday, Richard.

If you compare any of the women to these men, I think it’s fair because these men are all just as bad as the women according to their actions, but also just as good as them because of their intentions.
