No, really not.

Moriarty doesn't show up much in the original stories, but he has a major archetypal role as the Prince of Crime, to contrast to Holmes' Prince of Order. Adler has no such role in the original. She has Holmes' deep respect, but her case has no lingering effects once it's over, and her relationship with Holmes is close to nonexistent. His admiration and respect linger on, but it's only admiration for someone whose mind he's watched at work; they have very limited direct contact; and the story ends with the revelation of her very happy marriage to somebody else.

In an alternate universe where Doyle had written Moriarty as a respectable widow and Adler as a young male artist cast off by a dissolute prince, and changed nothing else, every Holmes adaptation would still include Moriarty, because the archvillain thing would still be there. But do you believe for an instant that Ivan Adler would show up in every single Holmes adaptation ever? Let alone in a love-interest role that wasn't there in the Doyle version?

A lot of things are totally about sexism, I would never disagree with you on that. But this isn't one of them.
