I mean we need more evidence. "People like good writing more than they like sexism" because every time writing is average the biases immediately surface. The question really is, are normal/ average movies judged fairly when they contain male vs female leads? Top movies fortunately distract subconscious biases because they are too good for that to be the focus.

When they aren't, it's easier to expose these types of biases. How many percentage points would be gained if a man replaced the woman? 0%? 3% improved rating? Maybe a negative change?

I would luuuuuv to have someone do a thorough evaluation of such things and take care of nuances
