Oh, it does reflect badly on the men, too, don't get me wrong.
The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is when she mouths off at Edmure for asking what his Frey bride looks like, but I swear I'm not the only person who has made this observation? Either way, my distaste for her comes mainly from finding her chapters tedious ^^;
I think also a large part of why I would consider her different from Davos is that her decisions seem to be 90% emotionally rooted. So, in some ways that reinforces the stereotype that the men have of women being ruled by their emotions.
Anyway, not to get into too big of a Catelyn discussion here. I know Catelyn gets a lot of hate (just like Sansa), but I do feel like my reading of her character isn't unfounded. I don't feel like Sansa is deserving of the hate that gets heaped upon her (she's actually in my top 5 characters, but the app only called for the top 3), but I personally find Cat pretty tiresome.
I hope that clarifies my position a little. I really don't mean to trash anyone else's perspective.
