Question: Should I go out of my way to write certain female archetypes out of my stories? I think some archetypes for female characters are offensive. For example, there's the femme fatale archetype. The femme fatale generally reduces women to just their sexuality, and results in one-dimensional female characters that appeal to the male fantasies.

Should I write them out of my stories, or are there ways to make the femme fatale archetype more women friendly by modifying some of the characteristics of the archetype?

Answer: 
The main problem with archetypical characters (regardless of gender) is, as you mentioned, their one-dimensionality.

You can avoid one-dimensional characters by giving them:

1. A motivation which is if not ethically justifiable then at least understandable for the audience
2. A more fleshed out personality with quirks and flaws
3. A more nuanced and adaptive approach to how they act in different situations and what methods they use to reach their objectives
4. An inner conflict about what they do and how they do it
The issue when writing archetypical characters into your story is making sure they aren't **just** that. hszmv's answer points out a whole bunch of characters and real people who possess all the traits of a femme fatale but crucially are all far more than just a list of traits.

You're right that a trap people fall into when using archetypes is that they "reduce" people into just being just a hollow shell wholly defined by whatever role they've been given in the story, and it's often that that puts people's backs up (particularly if from a section of the population that exist infrequently in certain genres of fiction *not* all possessing some prescribed attributes with little else to those characters). So instead, why not expand on their character instead. Why do they do what they do? Where do they come from? What do they want out of life? What are their thoughts and feelings? Their hobbies? What do they do when they're on their own or in a social setting that doesn't allow them to fill that role? All these questions (and many more) can give you a greater insight into who the character is than simply the general role their archetypical traits fulfil.
