Thanks for the pointer to Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic (http://yafgc.shipsinker.com/)! I'd never heard of it, but read the Jone arc you linked to, and then went back and read the whole thing from the start. 2 days well spent!

Keychain of Creation (http://keychain.patternspider.net/) is like Order of the Stick but for Exalted, and has 2 females and 2 males in the party. Everyone has tons of agency, and all wear skimpy clothing (it's Exalted, after all). The major female opponent has even more agency, but isn't presented as evil, she just wants different things than the party.

I'm still mulling over the notion of Evil female agency in D&D, but got sidetracked by thinking about the notion that maybe only good characters are considered to have Experience (not XP, but roughly, the capacity to feel things). That could explain why it's OK to slaughter evil creatures, because they don't feel pain like good characters do. But that's probably a different discussion.
