It's not that I dislike strong female characters or strong heroes. In fact, I'm quite fond of them. However, I think Claremont takes it to such an nth degree that it's ridiculous. There's no such thing as a woman in his stories who's anything less than absurdly competent at everything. As an example, I'd use Lindsay McCabe from Spider-Woman and later Wolverine. I'm supposed to believe that this actress can handle guns like a pro, can easily hold her own in a city where there are zero rules, and who doesn't freak out in the slightest at all the intrigue she gets involved in. To me, that's overdoing it. There's no balance--all of his women are uber-competent and instantly able to do anything. I can't say the same for the men he writes.
I just think he needs to dial it down a notch. It's fine for someone like Storm or Kitty or Rahne or others to have such a high level of competency--after all, they've been training for years. However, I balk at someone displaying that level of ability when they're obviously a rank amateur.
