I only read Gone with the Wind about 5 years ago, despite hearig about it long before then. I remember thinking at the time that for a woman of her time, Scarlet's behaviour was, I suppose "independent" compared to the women around her, but essentially I came to the same conclusion that you mention above.

I haven't read Lolita yet, though I think I have heard the name before.

My opinion is that Cuddy has been letting House get the upper hand since the second half of season 3 and onwards from there. I am most greatly annoyed by her representation as a supposed "strong female", because I have seen her as anything but for a long while

That's pretty much my opinion actually. I said earlier I could/can see why she has a "hot" body, but honestly, giving her revealing clothing for her post and having her shove her breasts and ass at House's face all the time, and then having House objectify her sexually, is not the way to show someone is "hot". In fact, this is exactly what turns me off.

I can see what you mean. Her behaviour is contradictory to me, and while she complains about being objectified by House all the time, my personal opinion is that Cuddy subconsciously enjoys the attention.

Hmmmm... I don't think she's being made into a bitch per se, but I hypothesize the attention House pays her (objectified though it may be) does makes her feel flattered/good about herself, that someone thinks and is saying to her face she's "hot", but it's just a hypothesis based on personal experiences/observations.
