I feel like you're really reaching when the most competent characters are white, Cooper and the Lucy's brother.

As for female, let's go down the list:

Main bad guy/leading NCR remnants: essentially gave Cold Fusion technology to the Brotherhood

Betty: easily duped by Lucy's Brother

Cooper's wife: despite planning the great war, didn't have her daughter in safe place before bombs fell

Ironically the most competent bad guy is Lucy's father who manipulates Lucy and Maximus easily and it's only Cooper that easily sees through his BS.

Hell most of the guys that die are because of Lucy's naivety like those guys selling organs, unless you want to argue a Barbie where their messaging Ironically gets the opposite of what they wanted to convey, I really don't see it.
