Apart from the ludicrous premise that Black Widow can hold her own against physically-superlative males (enemy soldiers etc) in a hand-to-hand melee, the Marvel Universe has mostly avoided this. Female characters aren’t domineering, and the male leads are not in the least incompetent or bumbling. Indeed, the two “superhero” females are both somewhat damaged (Black Widow is a former assassin with a very questionable past, and Scarlet Witch is right on the edge of crazy and has to be talked down from the ledge by male characters a couple of times).

Actually, I'm seeing lots of complaints about the SJW influence at Marvel. Lots of people dropping their titles due to the childishness (and stupidity) of some of the writing. Still some good books from that company, but they are getting harder to find.

You’re seriously talking about comic characters I presume) in this context?

Don't forget Electra from the Daredevil series. I call it the "Kill Bill" meme, where one woman lays waste to dozens of men who don't have a chance. Even my 9 yr old boy knows how idiotic this recurring theme is.
