The Smurfette Principle applies when there's a large important cast of males, or when we see that the male ratio is so much bigger that it's hard not to notice. Given that there were only 5 or 6 characters that mattered in the film, and that they showed a lot of female background characters. Also you do know that Thou Shalt Not Kill is suppose to be idealistic, not realistic, they've been shown killing aliens left and right throughout the whole trilogy, all mayor villains have been killed without batting an eye, so what would be the big deal now?
They also sort of retconned out K's wife from the previous two movies. I wasn't a huge fan of that, but for the self-contained plot of Men In Black 3 I guess it was okay.
@ marcellX: I guess the big deal in this film is that I don't remember the previous two making Violence Really Is The Answer a major plot point.
"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"
It was not in itself a mayor plot point. K never had a reason not to kill him, it was just the butterfly in the past. It was in fact only mentioned twice.
1) K's present self just regrets that he didn't since he killed J's father and that was not "after" he arrested him and because he knew he would eventually get out.
2) J tells K to kill past Boris so even if his memory was erased he at least prevents present Boris from going back in time and help kill K.
On the Boglodite, the movie seems to imply that they tried to attack Earth, but the Arc Net just blew them out of the sky before they could reach us. So it was more of a case of [[Too Dumb to Live]] and [[Karmic Death]] than the MIB's fault. There was a line of defense there, they went "Screw it, we're crossing that stuff". And for such, they paid the price.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."
Boglodites had already destroyed at least three planets and they need to do that to live, so fuck them.

Men in Black 3: Entertaining But Flawed
Overall, I enjoyed Men in Black 3, but it was still a disappointment on some levels, and aspects of it left a bad taste in my mouth.
SPOILER WARNING: I'll be discussing the entire plot, including the ending.
The Good:
The Bad:
The Ugly:
Final verdict: MIB 3 is well worth seeing, but don't think about it too much.
