Your order makes sense in terms of absolute character portrayal, but my order is looking at what sorts of portrayals tend to be lacking in the media. We do get portrayals of women as disconnected individuals--by far not as often as we get them in relation to men, but far more frequently than we get them in relation to women.

So my emphasis on relationships isn't meant to say, "Women primarily exist in terms of their relationships with other women" but rather "An area that is noticeably lacking in fiction is the exploration of stories through the medium of women's relationships with other women."

For example, one could tell Antuniet's story as the story of a woman who alone and through her own valiant efforts achieves her life goals. And it would be an inspiring story and one that didn't focus primarily on her relationships with men (except in that her brother's treason precipitated the need for it). But it wasn't the story I wanted to tell.
