I think these sorts of criticisms boil down to "Why didn't you make a different movie". She's wondering how much he cares about uplifting marginalized voices. That's not what the movie is about! It's just not, there's a very clear idea he's exploring in the movie and it is not that. You could examine those topics. But you're basically just saying "Go make a different movie about my personal interests". Well how about you go make that movie. I don't see how you could watch that movie and think that the film maker is endorsing the way that character is treated. It's fairly obvious that those stereotypes and "her" treatment is a direct indictment of the main character. I'm not sure I can help if you don't see that.
