Okay, back in the day when you could write a plot about anything at all, Captain America was being turned into a woman. No, really: Captain America #389-391, check it out, including the threat of a "sterilization bomb." And you thought Skrulls were a problem! But aside from the assorted sex-change that villains would try to do to you, this used to be a relatively rare condition.
The empowerment of women is not a bad thing. There was a time in the Avengers when it seemed like it was only women: Wasp, Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, (the female) Captain Marvel... and Cap. Hey, maybe they WERE trying for an all-female team then, hence the plot over in Cap's mag. More recently, She-Hulk has been putting together her Lady Liberators team, in her title and in the Hulk. But Marvel is up to more than this, folks. Let's start with the heroes.
