One of the phrases they seem really hung up on in the modern versions is this notion that she is "The Woman" to Sherlock. Since it is (in their interpretation) intended to be a signifier of profound respect, they automatically assume that a dude professing profound respect for a woman has got to be in love with her, and arrggggghhhhh....

Moffat's 'but what's your problem - he does love her, so really, she wins in the end!' is a perfect example of catastrophically missing the point. I suppose the notion that of a woman defeating a man purely through intellect seems less ground-breaking and unsexy these days, but when you look at how female characters are actually portrayed versus how it seems they ought to be in our more egalitarian paradigm, it is still depressingly groundbreaking to have one do so.

Writer dudes? I've outsmarted many men in my life without fluttering my eyelashes. I get that this is fantasy for you, and that's how you'd like to think you were outsmarted, but it really probably wasn't. The average IQ of the average man and woman are virtually identical, so women almost certainly outsmart men as often as the reverse happens in real life all the time without needing to resort to "wiles". This isn't a pushup contest.
