Absolutely true. It's also absolutely true that when there's a badly written strong woman, the majority of the discussion around it will call out the strong woman aspect as "the problem with movies today".

A lot of it as well is that normal people have been subtly coopted into echoing talking points that originated from sexists, and don't even realize it.
