Sadly this is continuously true, it is hard to write a female character that a mainstream audience will accept, because if they aren't competent enough they are annoying, but if they are too competent they are a Mary Sue.

Sadly we see this kind of shit happen in real life all the time, if Donald Trump is screaming at people it just proves what a real man he is, but if in the same debate Hillary Clinton is talking in a normal voice, people ask her why she's yelling.
