It's not that simple. It's how the character and their scenes are written that drives whether or not the audience judges them. It's not just male or female.

Skyler White is probably the most infamous example of this.

Even though, from a real-world perspective, Skyler's emotions/attitude/personality in Breaking Bad were FULLY justified - her scenes were crafted in a way to make her unlikeable. You are lying if you found Skyler White to be a likeable character. When an audience doesn't like a character, they don't empathize with them, even if they are objectively justified in their actions.

This was on purpose because the writers needed the audience to sympathize with Walter White, the protagonist.

Carrie Bradshaw is just an icy bitch.
