It would be misogynistic if in the examples you listed, Sara was a male, but your point is invalid when it's a girl who's overshadowing the other girls.

The only remotely misogynistic thing that Arrow ever did was having Isabelle's "strong woman who wants to thrive in a man's world" plot being turned into a "revenge for the death of a loved one" cliche. The treatment of Laurel WAS misogynistic. I just listed several examples of misogyny in Arrow, and how Felicity Smoak as a whole is a character the writers use to actively spout out misogyny towards other women on the show.
