It often runs the other way, actually, with camera angles and costumes negating the supposed "liberated woman" status of the script.
Which is one of the things I really miss about Buffy. I have plenty of complaints about the casting and the way the story portrayed sexuality, but at least I never felt like the women were physically on display. Buffy had more of a "female gaze" than a male gaze, actually, what with all the half-naked Angel/Xander/Spike.
