Only because there's mainly one of her and 99 of her male peers, and she seems to be mostly written into the "standard female role" instead of investigating how she could be useful in a variety of roles like her male peers. The only empowerment I can see for the male characters is for them to break out of their "I am my personality/profession name" comfort zone when a situation may call for them to be or do something that's not normally their thing to be or do.
