this is the next extension of the female power fantasy that has been a novel and movie trope for a long time.
Everyone understands the male power fantasy: becoming a hero of society by enacting a significant positive change, or preventing a significant negative scenario. Becoming a respected and revered hero through a heroic act.
But the female power fantasy is rarely talked about, but it is ever prevalent, especially in popular books and movies. The female power fantasy is a woman doing whatever she wants, and despite that, being loved by everyone anyways.
This is an extension of that, with a man hating feminist twist.
Yes, it's all part of that though. There is no heroes journey, no personal growth or overcoming obstacles, as you say: "you are always perfect, it was others/society/your ex that didn't novice until now"
