I can understand the complaints but I saw neither Rose nor Irene as toys or more dependent. They're both strong women and even if they do get saved by a man I don't see that as diminishing their power. I'm pretty sure that there will be a point in time (either portrayed in the TV series or not) where Irene will save Sherlock likewise. As Rose saved the Doctor more than once and vice versa.
I don't think that keeping a count is necessary for equality though. I especially liked that Irene was an equal to Sherlock even though she did not abandon her emotions and feelings. And it took him damn long to guess that code :)
