Sorry I didn't attribute Andrew's M&D women quote correctly. 
I was only commenting on it.

No one has yet complained about how wimpy, formulaic, perversted and
puppet-like the women in M&D are. Anyone want to start the ball[s]
rolling? And if not, why not?

Well, how 'bout Florinda and Rebekah?  Wouldn't call either of 'em wimpy 
or puppet-like.  We could say many of the male characters have similiar 
traits as these...that aside women didn't have many options in that age 
of enlightenment did they?
