Started watching it on Pluto and only in the first season but I’m liking it. I’ve seen random episodes here and there and my dad rented the movie once it was available at blockbuster. Plus it’s cool to see a show with Air Force members as an Air Force vet. I assume since it ended before the woke era there aren’t any major girlboss moments.

IIRC there are maybe 2 or 3 episodes with "muh sexism/racism" but considering that the series ran for 10 seasons that's pretty minor. It's still probably my favorite series ever.
Season 1 was a bit slow IMHO. It felt fairly low budget and there was too much character introduction and not enough action when I rewatched it. Although that's maybe not an issue if you're watching it for the first time.
The later SG Atlantis felt slightly woker with that weird mystical girlboss but other than her it's still great.
SG Universe ... well, we don't talk about SG Universe.
Teyla was one of the worst characters imaginable. A failed female Teal'c replacement. She was completely useless. They allegedly hired her because she had knowledge of the local trade networks, but she turned into black G.I. Jane with sticks for some apparent reason, and her knowledge of local trade networks was completely non-existent.
Til she is black
She's from East Africa, half-Bantu. She does look pale and has many Caucasian features, but we all know why they hired her for that role, and it wasn't for her acting chops.
