There are 2 differences:
Intent is number one. The intention of the shot showing the guys is that they are heroes first getting ready for an impossible challenge. Them being men is farther than secondary to the scene. Probably the only consideration in who they are is that it's the Avengers trinity, equivalent to Justice League's Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman. They are THE Avengers, for all intents and purposes.

For the woman, the intent is 100% to show that the woman are together, it's a sludge hammer to our heads, not subtle at all, with them being heroes and up against a challenge unfortunately secondary.

Add to that how forced it is that the truly awe-inspiring Captain Marvel doesn’t need their help, let alone powerhouses like or Hulk or Thor really, adds to how forced it is. Only Scarlet Witch is in her league. Something we all know. Not because she's a woman. But because she simply is.

Point to the spot on the doll where feminism hurt you.
 
I didn't read the other reviews in this thread because I've been around long enough to know that's a recipe for taking all the joy out of something you like.

I loved this movie. I thought it was fun, funny, filled with great battle scenes, lots of pay-off for the loyal fans, and pretty much lived up to its hype. Peggy Carter is my all time favorite Marvel character so I LOVED the Captain America ending--he deserves that! Tony the Tin-Man got a heart, the Hulk got a brain, Thor found his courage, and Captain Marvel WAS the tornado.

I'll see it again.

I love this so much. :D

To continue on with that: Thanos is the Purple Wicked Witch...and Scarlet Witch is the Good Witch!

Funny, how often it's the girlfriend who said it soon comes along when the word feminism pops up.

You're either implying I'm lying or that woman can't roll their eyes at this stuff too. She told me she'd break up with me if I took her to see the new Ghostbusters where the original is her favourite comedy. Her rants on Harley Quinn and even Spider-Gwen amuse me to no end. She's pretty awesome like that.

Woman can hate on this stuff just as easily, it's funny how people have to put their "it's sexist" shields up at the first sign of criticism.
