Some writers write "woman" and then proceed to write generic shit. Whether those archetypes you said or something else. Some writers write like what was built up for MJ for so long into what is described as "WOMAN" and all that entails. Peter as well is basically "MAN" in that he starts out insecure and narrow in his thinking but then experiences a lot and grows into what he was at the end of JMS run.
Peter comes of age from being a man with inflexible principles into becoming one who gets too loose like during Spider-Man vs. Wolverine or during the Clone Saga when he is pushed to the edge. Same with MJ during that saga and during Gwen's death. They reach the point where they need to confront and do the feminine or masculine action that actually does help them. And they both do what is described feminine or masculine or vice versa because everybody has to at some point in life.
MJ goes to Peter's side and consoles him and Peter consoles MJ over her childhood growing up with her sister and father.
So yeah MJ is a character through and through, a larger than life one that also has realism also seen on the opposite end of the personality. Same with Peter.
