Anime is good for that.
Hey! Isn't your avatar Homura Akemi? There's a smart female protagonist of a movie that has almost no male characters, let alone men in her past. Bam.
This is just within the context of Hollywood though, anime is a whole other ball game. The two simply can't compare.

So, you'd rather that Maleficent became a deranged, evil, murderous bitch who goes about poisoning teenagers WITHOUT having been wronged by a male?
Boru
Yes!
Why can't it be
Stabbed in the back by a friend
Got framed for a crime
Used her powers poorly
Fell in with the wrong crowd
Took her experiments with magic too far
Lost a child or other family member
Simply went mad
