Girl power? Give me a freakin' break. All they did was flesh out her character a bit. In the 1960s, all too often it was the "man show" with the wimmens being "oh, captain, I'm scared" bullshit. They've not swung it too far the other way.
Chapel is a competent professional. I may not like how she chooses men, but that's on me. I like to women be treated more as equals, not as ding-dongs who always need male help. So sue me.
As for Spock, in this prequel, he's still trying to find out who he is. Many younger people experiment in their youth. H's experimenting - with humanity, and yes, with relationships. He hasn't settled down yet into the TOS Spock. He will of course.
In real life most of us figure out who we are what we want out of life and relationships after a period of trial and error.
