They're always slightly bitchy and then punished for it, while men can be antiheroes all damn day long.
Yes. At the moment, I can only think of three examples of badass evil women who don't fit under that category:
1) The character Meryl Streep plays in "The Devil Wears Prada" - I think her name is Miranda? I'm not sure if she fits under this category because she's not "evil" as much as she is pushy and the movie actually does go out of its way to make the audience understand why she's pushy.
2) Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke, although she doesn't reach the end of the movie totally unscathed.
3) Kushana from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
