We can make a new thread to discuss this, but let me clarify that the quality of the writing and thought put into any characters, male or female, matters more than the sheer number or supposed importance, though both matter. The differences in between how men and women are portrayed, written about, and interact with the world are stark in every d&d setting (and most fantasy settings), Dark Sun included. Several of the examples you just listed are more than a little problematic, to put it mildly.
