I think women are allowed to have one or two action franchises every 17 years
What a lie this is. Ghost Busters, Star Wars, Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, Terminator, Harley Quinn, etc.
I dont care about her take, she's just defending her movie. Thats understandable.
But your calling her a liar and you can only name 6 franchises, one of them is not a female action franchise and 4 of the other 5 have only been done once in that 17 year period. If thats all you got, you're helping her point if anything.

To be fair.
Star Wars got Rogue one and a whole trilogy about Rey.
Wonder Woman has 2 movies, 2 ensembles.
Captain Marvel has one movie, 1 ensemble and a hook to keep on in the franchise that isn't stopping.
Underworld got 3 or 4 movies before movies before action girls became girl power movie statements.
Terminator had a 2, 3(to a lesser action degree but still smart as hell), Genesys, and Dark Fate with females leads co-leads.
Harley Quinn was a big draw for Suicide Squad. Has BOP and SS2 in the pipe.
And if we start including TV shows we get way more female action leads and stories.
It's not like there's a dearth of female led media. It's just for the most part the audience doesn't receive it well by either not paying for it or not liking that they paid for it.
Which is why for all the franchises listed above there's a shitload of one offs that were either eh okay or flops.
ETA: And the first 2 Charlie's Angels were fun.

She said 1 or 2 in 17 years. I listed 6 in about three years . Banks is a lying sack and she is obviously "allowed" to make these movies just as we are allowed to not see them.
