Probably because I grew up reading books like The Ordinary Princess, where the title character runs away to live in the forest when her parents try to marry her off; and The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, where Cimorene learns to fence and do magic and rescues the prince, instead of the other way around. And the Song of the Lioness Quartet, in which Alanna disguises herself as a boy so she can become a knight...and ends up becoming the King's Champion.

Why would you get yelled at? You're totally right. Angel and Spike both were incredibly stalker-ish. The difference is that Buffy called them on it (most of the time), and wasn't a helpless little twit.
