You mean Jane right? Anyway, a lot separates these two in terms of power. Even if you were to say that Arthur could mess with his or her mind, Thor or just being a Thor has the TP resistant perk going for them, being that they have a certain amount of magical protection against it. They aren't immune, but they have a decent amount of resistance to stave off an assault, wade in and put the kabosh on Arthur.
The strength gap is pretty large as well, not to mention durability. Jane just took a huge beating from the female version of Kurse and kept getting back up. Arthur simply isn't in that weight class. It was mentioned in reference to the Beyonder that the new female Kurse is likely as powerful as her male counterpart. This is something that shouldn't be challenged, as Jane has some pretty high end feats.

Jane just threw a freaking city out of space. She also ripped through adamantium combined with vibranium and magic. Stalemated Odin. Moved faster than a bullet. Nothing but high end showings. Aquaman gets his chest caved in, easily.

As of the Mighty Thor #14, dated December 2016, yes, there's a female Kurse.Appears to be stronger than either Thor, too.
Doesn't want to be a villain, though, thankfully ...
Before the Beyonder amps he couldn't beat a Mjolnirless Thor! God damn you Marvel. Stupid mother ****ers.

Not sure how this showing makes female Kurse stronger than Odinson, but ok.

Marvel...
I think I understand Marvel's perspective. Few if any have ever heard of Kurse, save for reasonably devout Thor fans. I myself heard little outside of 2x stronger than Thor or 4x or whatever. Here, the power apparently comes from enchanted armor. That's in the popular current movies as a theme for similar Thor or Avenger characters. And the movies have a much bigger audience than the comic reading populace. The enchanted armor concept is no harder to wrap the head around than the Destroyer or Iron Man suits empowering someone, doubly so if we take how Extremis Iron Man was presented.
In-story, possible reasons for Malekith choosing Lady Waziria to be the new Kurse aren't unfathomable, either.
Recklessly arrogant character like that from Norse-style society?
Easy to see Malekith deciding Jane Thor being less of a threat than Odinson Thor. Or reasoning the armor enchantment makes New Kurse equal to the power of Old Kurse. Or that Lady Waziria, being a woman, should be less strong-willed and rebellious than the strongest Dark Elf male warrior.
No, I can certainly see why Marvel did as its done in this case.
Smart decision making involves a different checklist when you're a corporation concerned primarily with sales and marketability to the widest possible audience, as opposed to a fan of a given literary character itself.
I'm impressed Marvel's messed with the crucial elements of the story as LITTLE as they have, all things considered.
