I would argue that The Martian has much better representation. Both more women, and women in positions of competence and authority. And I have a long rant about why I hate Bullock's character. She makes no sense, and there is a strong subtext that she only gets to be an astronaut because she failed at girl. Also, that dream sequence played out, for me, like she needed male approval and support for her continued survival. The fact that it came from a dead man is even more irritating. Longer rant available upon request.
