Eh, it's less THAT, and more to do with the handling of female protagonists. I'm not against that, because stories are driven by protagonists, and protagonists are by their very nature going to be unusual so make your character as weird as you like, but I didn't really like the idea of Maidens as a plot-device. Suddenly gender has become integral to the story, and really, attempting to justify the fact that all 4 members of RWBY needing to be girls is basically saying, "Oh, in this world girls have the inherent advantage of gaining badass powers, but we know in real life this isn't true, nudge nudge wink wink."
