Girl boss movies are a good example. If you're living in sane times, 95% of media protagonists are men. In that context, the very occasional girl boss registers as a fun novelty.
Spree Snooter talks about this in his Ex Voto video. The reason why it works is because it's a male fantasy. It's also why said girl bosses are beautiful and wear bikini armor into battle. A competent female warrior is already a fantasy, so you might as well pile on the fanservice.
The way I've always seen it: female action heroes in media are tantamount to stolen valor. In real life, 99% of combat soldiers, firefighters, builders, etc. are men. So when media portrays half or more of these people as female, it's basically women stealing valor from men on an industrial level. And as a male viewer, you will tolerate that bullshit so long as the female character is physically and socially attractive.
The modern female hero has reneg'd on the latter condition. She takes credit for male behavior while giving us nothing pleasant in return. So there's no reason for us to tolerate the charade anymore.
And we tolerated it when it was an excuse for Hottie McThottie to cartwheel around the battlefield showing off her ass and tits, and headscissoring mooks into submission. Now that we're having insufferable fat cunty landwhales forced on us as a "feminine ideal" there's nothing.
