...Ya know, a wise young man once asked a lovely young woman: "Are you weak in the upper story?!"
That's the very question that I'm asking the OPer with this rant.
Let me get this out of the way: I'm a huge fan of Justice League: Action. It's everything Teen Titans Go had the opportunity to be if it hadn't decided on being a shoddy Animaniacs knock-off with low self-esteem. So anytime someone insults JL:A, I get angry. And this post...It gives you a pretty good look at the reason I loathe Social Justice Warriors.
Yes, having Wonder Woman pull a "not all men" can be seen as bad writing. But it is no way "a reflection" of "what men get completely wrong about writing WW." Pray tell: Wasn't it a man who created Wonder Woman in the first place (Iknowitwasforhisfetishbutstill)? And didn't a man play a big part in the creation of the first and greatest big-screen Wonder Woman movie? And finally: How can you be so sure that a woman can't botch Diana's character?
You wanna know what bad writing really is, honey? Here's bad writing:

You wanna know what bad writing really is, honey? Here's bad writing:
- Bad writing is having Dick Grayson be a neurotic control freak who broke the leg of Wally West over a girl.
- Bad writing is having Garfield Logan and Victor Stone completely ruin their friends' futures; An action that may well rival Zatanna's in Identity Crisis.
