I think many people are way too quick to call "Mary Sue" these days (especially w/r/t female characters). The term has lost a lot of its meaning as a result.

There's an interesting divide where female characters are often labelled as a Mary Sue more than male characters. I think, perhaps, a more accurate term for this type of character is a "power fantasy".

Sometimes it's a power fantasy for the reader or audience. Sometimes it's just a power fantasy for the author, in which cause it quickly gets annoying.
