I'm just gonna point out that, as far as I know, there are no men in movies whose life stories don't rely on women (Superman, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Doctor Manhattan, Constantine, the guy from the Mass Effect movie). Is that bad? Maybe. Is it realistic? Yes. Men and women need each other and interact with each other and develop bonds stronger than within their own gender, most of the time.
However, there ARE women protagonists whose life stories aren't inspired by men. I recall one at the moment. Her name is Alissa Vincent. She was the protagonist in "Dead Space: Downfall". She was the only one to find out (through trial and error) that the best way to kill Necromorphs is by shooting at their joints; not the torsos. And I do mean "the ONLY one". The other guys and a second woman just picked up cutters from someone outside their group, who told them that the "things" couldn't handle being cut.

The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
