Do you have any evidence for this or is it pure speculation? One counter-example I can think of is Modern Family, which was a less smart, rebellious child who is female -- the Haley character -- and has not to my knowledge received any criticism for "attacking women".

Modern Family though also has Hailey's sister who is smarter than the lot of them and a much younger wife married to the patriarch without falling into a gold-digger/mail-order bride stereotype. Other than Haily and stereotyped mom(s) they're OK on the whole.

I wouldn't say "other than Haily". Even with that character in mind, I don't consider the show to be sexist. My point is that having a flawed female character doesn't imply that the show will be perceived as "attacking women" as tzs seems to be suggesting.

Luke is dumb too maybe even more than Haley and she is not smart but she's not stupid either she got lots of social skills.
