Because having more good women characters in comics is progressive and good. Full stop.

It's not about reaching the goalpost of "Have we had a character who falls into this category", it's about creating a strong ecosystem of good characters

I agree with this. It's positive, having a greater cast of varied and well fleshed out characters because that's what the world looks like.

This is the best description of this reasoning I have ever seen.

THIS.

Also, the current Captain Marvel comic isn't progressive just because it has a female lead character. It's also progressive because it is stuffed to the gills with interesting and diverse female supporting characters, both civilians and superheroes (including, incidentally, Monica Rambeau, the black Captain Marvel pictured in the secret). There aren't many superhero comics that pass the Bechdel Test as frequently and joyously as DeConnick's Captain Marvel.
