I'll give dany a pass and just blame that on George not knowing how to advance her plot out of that city.

Main women characters:
Daenerys: Child raised exclusively by a bigger idiot (Viserys)
Arya: Child, but surprisingly not an idiot
Sansa: Child
Meera: Not an idiot
Catelyn: Idiot
Cersei: Becomes an idiot in the end, but does a very good job of manipulating things to her benefit for a really long time
Olenna: Not an idiot
Maergery: Not an idiot
Brienne: Naive, but not an idiot
Melisandre: Absurdly powerful, but probably an idiot. Also, might not actually be a woman.
Ygritte: Not an idiot
Missandei: Really not an idiot. Likely one of the most intelligent characters in the series, even though she is a child.
I'm probably forgetting a few, but the vast majority of the female characters seem to be non-idiots.
