Notice you had to go back 23 fucking years, I.E to when feminism was still dormant, slowly seizing power positions while pretending they just wanted to be equal?
Like I said, the current political climate makes a female protagonist a statement of tacit support for the hatred women are widely spreading towards men.
I don't think it's incorrect. Did anyone give a shit about feminism in the 2000s or even the 90s?
The 80s was the tradcon-radfem alliance that both sides deny ever existed. After that, feminism slipped into the shadows, with a normalized image and an opportunity to slowly build power.
The 90s was the Tipper Gore circlejerk about violent games.
The 00s didn't openly involve women in much, it was all about the War on Terror™.
The 2010s were all about gays, up until Trump got elected, when women stepped back into a position of influence to rant against the fact that they hadn't cruised to victory in 2016. They had been mostly silent because they believed they had won. Everything that they wanted would have come to pass. They seized the power they needed, they were ready to crown their queen.
The last few years have been them constantly in a state of lashing out and using every dirty tactic they can think of to try and make sure nobody gets uppity enough to reject their power next time.
Aren't you aware of the "sexual harassment" craze of the late 80s/90s? Michael Crichton even wrote a book about it. It wasn't that different to the "me too" craze, although the lack of social media meant "normal" women couldn't use it to get attention as easily.

That was the tradcon/radfem alliance. The Meese Report and the "Satanic Panic" were their two collaborations.
Maybe that was just an American thing. I definitely didn't read about it happening in England.
Notice I picked older examples specifically to highlight female protags isn't some brand new innovation.
Dollars to donuts you'd whine just as much if I had only included examples from the last decade.
