Do you think so? Consider the subtext, not just the genders of the actors.
The conflict of the film is, quite literally, an oppressed sex lashing out at the society that oppressed them and taking control. The resolution is the previously dominant sex regaining control and putting the oppressed sex back in their former, subservient positition.
The movie almost literally ends by asking the audience "Why is this resolution bad?" ๐
