would only work if the plan to never introduce any other women like that in the future.

And then people would complain about the lack of women. I think there's no chance for them to make this right. If they don't have women on the show, people scream inequality. Once they do have women on the show, people scream about them only being introduced as love interests and/or to be killed off. I seriously wouldn't want to be a writer trying to pick the lesser evil there.
