The thing is that super-smart men often also have severe character flaws and negative traits that balance out with their super-smart-ness. Take Sherlock in the recent BBC adaptation Sherlock, for example. He's incredibly intelligent and perceptive, yes, but he's also unbelievably ignorant about some things, socially inept, and arguably a total adrenaline junky.

Whereas, most of the time when I've seen them at least, super-smart female characters are defined by that one trait--their ~super-smart-ness~--maybe with the addition of also being ~fashionable~ or ~dorky~ or some other stock descriptor. They're stereotypes and not characters.

Ugh I could go on about this all day, but basically what I'm trying to say is: a lot of people suck at writing female characters that are anywhere near as developed as their male characters. And it sucks.
