I have read a lot of fiction over the years....
It doesn't really matter about gender roles unless you start changing an established work and then rewrite it to suit.
Fresh work can write what they want and let the audience decide if it is a success..
But hijacking established work for agenda purposes, well....That is something I must look down upon...Especially when its intentionally done to challenge or antagonise!
I mean by all means challenge and antagonise and push your agenda, but do it under your own IP for pity sake, by jumping on anothers work it just shows that you have no faith in your own.
It just creates rifts, conflict and ends entire franchisee.
