Just to address an important point - in A Scandal in Bohemia (the book the ep is based on), Irene won. She beats Sherlock, goes on her merry way, and he's left standing there both perplexed and deeply impressed. Her emotions being her downfall, Sherlock having to go and save her, that is 100% Moffat's own writing. Still plenty of sexism in the text around her, but that doesn't give the show a pass for its rather backlash-tasting change in the story.
