She has some great points. A lot of the media today has become painful to sit through. Time to adapt or go the way of the dodo

In some ways a female protagonist can be more boring than a male one, because badassery is usually all a female protagonist is, for the subversive ness. Obviously this needs to change - a badass male character with nothing else to him is a boring one, and same applies here. Where’s my female-centric detective story, or something else?

Tl;dr : Most writers slap badassery and estrogen onto a character and call it a day. This has to change - give females more character traits!

She actually has some great points in there.

I think she's onto something. The manosphere isn't so much concerned with female empowerment as females replacing men in traditional gender roles.

Write a Rey that expresses feminine concerns rather than a distaff Skywalker in form only.

Now? Alien and Terminator came out when I had just started elementary school, and there were some examples of this in the 70s, not to mention the comic book superheroines of the 1960s.
