The thing that I find extremely frustrating about Teen Wolf's approach to gender is that you have a lot of Minority Police Captain syndrome going on, where women are named as being in charge, but then for various story reasons are effectively powerless.

• Laura Hale is a dead body who was the Hale pack alpha before the series started.
• The Argents claim that women are their war leaders, but Victoria Argent wasn't introduced in the series until several episodes after her husband Chris in season 1, and is immediately undercut by her father-in-law Gerard when he appears, and Allison functions as titular leader for a handful of episodes while always dancing to her grandfather's tune.
• Last but not least, we are repeatedly told that Lydia Martin is a queen of the social scene, but we never see her wield that power over anyone except Jackson and Stiles, and, by the time we see her attempt to use it, her juice has evaporated because of that one time when she was assaulted by a psycho at prom and then ran away from the hospital and wandered the woods naked for, like, two days.
