That's not unique by itself (I'm not fond of her mythos either), but it does look like a significant part of the hate for WW is sexist. I'm not saying that you in particular are, but a lot of the issues people have with her e.g. something as simple as fact that she's as strong as someone like a Thor or Hercules if not stronger, gives the impression that her femininity gets in the way of acceptance in some quarters.
I have no issues with her on the part of her character/powerset, I think the earlier days of her mythos were horrible, but she wasn't the only comic character suffering under weird story arcs at that time, but even the more modern continuity of her mythos leaves room for improvement.
Personally her attitude is understandable - she's a warrior goddess or demi goddess and also a princess of a warrior civilization made up entirely of women. An odd mix of superiority, pride (bodering on insolence) and sometimes overbearing feminism is to be expected, at the start. But current WW for the most part has mellowed out, she's had enough exposure now that most of those extremes are out of her character.
As for her strength, she's like Thor but with no overt magic and better fighting skills (more finesse), nothing wrong with that. Superman and a very select few top tiers have the capacity to overwhelm her in a fight, nothing wrong with that. Her artifacts are a bit overrated, but given the fact that she doesn't have offensive magic, understandable.
