Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved?

Why are female characters who can solve things without anyone's help hated, but male characters who are perfect at practically everything are loved?

Batman is an example. Batman is a human being with a brilliant intellect, which is not a problem, but being a human being without powers, he manages to be more intelligent than aliens superior to humans, he manages to be a MASTER in all martial arts and no matter who the opponent is, he is always prepared and can win. Any writer who dares to create a female character with these characteristics would be attacked and called woke

There are many other examples, just watch any Japanese isekai anime. The protagonist dies and is reincarnated in another world with unrealistic powers and abilities. Out of nowhere, the boy who used to just stay at home masturbating and playing games is able to use all the magic and martial arts. Just by being born in another world, the protagonist is able to defeat wizards who have spent centuries training. And even though he has never picked up a sword, he is able to defeat dragons and swordsmen with a single blow

Any writer who dared to create a story with a female protagonist with the same characteristics would be accused of trying to push an ideological agenda and their character would be considered a Marie Sue.

Batman is not all powerful at all. He's constantly struggling with his decision not to kill the Joker or other criminals. He lost his parents and he loses Robin. A lot of his stories focus on the price he has to pay for his vigilante life. Also Batman is a super hero they're given the most space when it comes to realism. The key point about a Marie Sue is that she doesn't have to learn or sacrifice a lot she just figures it out and she's good at stuff just because.

If you see Batman Begins he's in a prison in China and then he gets out and goes looking for this hidden temple and then he finally finds it and then he gets interogated by the master and then he has to learn martial arts for years and then he doesn't agree with the philosophy anymore and he fights the master and escapes and goes back to Gotham etc. He didn't just become great you see his whole story. It's a heroes journey he doesn't just start out as amazing Batman. There's steps he has to go through and even in the third movie he still had to go to that dark hole of a prison and do the leap of faith because he wasn't ready to face Bane yet. So even in the third movie he's shown as still having to grow.

Make a female character with the same story and she will be considered a Marie Sue.
