The goal of using that kind of line in the first place is to impede the ability to actually talk about it

Exactly. All the sudden a bad film (if it is) becomes unassailable while on the flip side a good film (if it is) no longer stands on its merits. In either case, it's a stupid fricking comment made to pander to a particular audience of readers who will lap it up like catnip (SJWs) or choke on it (anti-SJWs). It takes the conversation away from the film and puts it on bullshite; namely, the portrayal of women in film (all while discounting the myriad examples of women leads in films before this that were high quality, big budget action films).
