Did you just say men can't have wombs and give birth?
That's quite genderist of you!
not even kidding, most likely the reaction of people like Dobson
It's a bit more complicated, I think.
They don't want comic books with female characters with certain labels attached to them ("Strong", "independent", "an uppity bitch that treats everyone like shit to show off strength" and so on), but it always falls back on popular brands. They don't want *a* female strongindependentyaddayaddayadda character, they want a female *Thor*, a female *Ironman*. It's not about the character, it's about sticking labels onto certain comic books. As such, it seems to be more about control over an IP than it is about creating something that is "empowering" (whatever the fuck that means - if your life is so devoid of positive interaction that you need Captain Marvel or FemThor to feel empowered, you might as well just give up).
All this opens up an interesting debate, too, of what a strong character is, and going by Captain Marvel, it's pretty clear that their idea of what a "strong" character is, is insanely fucked up.
The people who made CM and those who love it seem to think that the only way to make a character strong is to make them act like assholes and contradict everyone at every time (cause of course, they need to be "in charge" and they need to be the ones to know "what's up"), be very antagonistic towards others (cause acting nice would be being submissive) or outright using brutality to beat people that don't fall in line, in short, it's a very, very aggressive and spiteful view on what strength is. I would even argue that it is no strength at all. It's just someone being abrasive and condescending.
And just as a small addition, Japan is seen as chauvinistic (well, justifiably so), but the Manga and Anime made there oftentimes feature genuinely strong female characters and that flies past the radar of many a femtard.
