It's only problematic if people think too deeply into what isn't there. It's a term frequently applied to both female and male characters. Sometimes the 'Gary Stu' term is used instead but the meaning doesn't change even when it is.
It has little relevance to a character's gender. Plus it's overused from time to time but generally serves to describe particularly jarring and problematic characters in various stories.
I'm more inclined to suggest that the allergy many people harbour towards any criticism is the problem rather than anything regarding 'sexism'.
