I suspect just furthering the stance that they don't care for her, though I might suggest...

Defining how a person is or is not, or what a person should or should not be, based on their sex, is going to be starting you off on the wrong foot in general, regardless of the point you're otherwise attempting to make.
Its all personal preference, but it would sure be nice to have a female in the game that was actually...um feminine.
This is only valuable feedback only if others share this view, and I am guessing many do. Not many would dare to say what they would prefer because of political correctness. I don't care because I know myself, and that I respect and accept people for who they are, but that doesn't mean I will connect deeply with them.
An epic story usually includes characters that people connect with, but I am really kinda over expecting that. Still, Larian might want to acknowledge that there are still strong woman in the world that embrace both their dreams and there femininity. I have yet to see an emotionally strong female portrayed here. One that doesn't curse and loose their composer under pressure. It is a noticeable void.
Semantics and perspective are a problem in a conversation like this (such as the word femininity). I personally know and work with many woman that I attribute their nature as a positive aspect in their professionalism.
I'm generally a strict adversary of wokeness and gender semantics, however what you possibly do mean with "feminine" seems to me to be a female attitude that is defined by males in a male dominated (and outdated) culture and is imputed to women because it's in the favor of the males. So women are soft and understanding and socialising, but that easily is connected with them as weak, passive and unable to really act/lead. I'm a male and I will stay away from discussing what "feminine" should mean from a female standpoint, but I have some problems with your direction of thought.
I think Minthara is good as a harsh and autoritative person, like Kagha (who I "like", in a certain way, much more than Halsin).
In my case however I don't care that much how Minthara is because till now we always killed her on sight without having the pleasure to communicate, so her gutted body is the only resource to judge from. When I saw this huge thread about her, I first thought she must be an important NPC I still did not meet. Is it worth to talk to her if you play as a so-called "good" character?
