No. There are badly-written male characters all over the place, people just tend to overlook or excuse it when it's a male character. It's a perfect example of the ridiculous double standards fandom has for female and male characters: a male character can be as flat and one-dimensional as can be and still get people fawning over them and talking about how awesome they are because they're an attractive dude, whereas a female character is anything less than 100% perfect in every way and immediately you get everyone saying "see, no one ever writes female characters well."

To use HP as an example: look at how much attention and love from fandom that Blaise Zabini got despite being essentially a non-entity in the books. He was not a well-written character by any means, yet fandom loved him anyway because he happened to be described as being attractive.
