The constant pushing for the "girlboss" archetype in movies is a poor choice not only because it does not resonate with male fans, but also female fans. I remember when I was in high school the most popular book/movies among the girls was Twilight. The main character Bella was the most passive character you could have, the opposite of a girlboss.
But the female audience loved it. Sure, it is just one example, but it is the perfect counter example against the girlboss propaganda being pushed.
The author was a woman too, and obviously writing for other women. And she knew her audience well.
Meanwhile, men did not care for Twilight. Which is to be expected, since it was not made for us. But the reason I bring this up is to demonstrate that it is not "the patriarchy" or any males who are responsible for the creation or popularity of this series among females. They chose to read and watch it, and any males who also watched were either gay or watched with their girlfriends.
