Even in probably the most iconic scene very early on from the first avengers movie it isn't all male.

There is nothing natural about the collection of female heroes together because it's a scene constructed for one reason and it's to show all the female heroes together. The reason alone means the scene isn't a natural happening especially with the number of heroes, the odds of seeing 10+ heroes all of the same gender are insanely high, to the point of being laughable.

Yeah, and if JS wasn't in that scene you wouldn't blink an eye or think any different now would you.  Lets not act as if that scene was all male you would be thinking to yourself, OK SJW. Isn't that the whole point.  If you see any scene with just all males would you even discuss it.  It would not matter if there was only a few heros or a hundred. You wouldn't blink an eye, think twice about it or even discuss it and it probably would have faded from your memory just as quick as the scene showed on screen.

I would still consider that a bad scene even if it was all guys. A slow motion to show all characters in close-up one by one, in the middle of an amazing and fast battle, is out of place and breaks the rhythm, that's what makes it noticeable. You had a lot of bad ass moments for women during this battle, you had women saving men, and everything felt natural and normal, in the flow. But cut everything, teleport 10 characters at a same place out of nowhere, do a long individual close up and slow motion, and that right here is unnatural and forced.

EDIT: They should have done that at the beginning of the battle, when everyone was arriving by the portals. That would have been natural there. Not in the middle of the fight.
