SG-1 had a couple female writers, actually, Katharyn Powers and Heather E. Ash, which didn't help them much, but.
--I'm really playing devil's advocate here, I concede your point. The presence of female writers does not automatically equal good female chars, but it can help. As do women producers and directors. (The new Dr. Who, silly comedy 'Psych', and Numb3rs have some of my more favorite female chars around these days, and while the writing staffs of all are still mostly male, they have significant female presences helming the show.)
