I haven't discounted Olenna. She is a small side character. We haven't even gotten a POV of anybody close to her. Also I'm not talking about the show. Pretty sure Brienne never even met the Hound in the books, and Olenna has a bigger role in the show. Her role is basically the same, but relative to everything else being bigger, she's much smaller in the books.
I only see the theme when there has been significant fleshing out of the characters, their motivations, and the plots they're driving. Brienne looks entirely different in the show, where she seems boss and somewhat reasonable, and she never gets bailed out by men (well except for that one time with Jaime and the bear). It's the opposite in the books though.
