Depends seriously on writing. If you have a character, who doesn't fit typical mold for a role, you have to explain it properly, not using SJW BS.
Are there female characters ripe for lead in action movie? Yes, why? They have reasonable justifications for it! Couple of samples:
Sabine Wren (SW Rebels): "I helped enslave my people!", a quote from an episode. That would make pretty good motivation to fight regardless of characters gender.
Ashoka Tano (SW Clone Wars and Rebels): Raised from early age as a warrior. Again, work's regardless of gender.
Ellen Ripley (Alien): Put in to a life or death situation, no powers. Again, work's for both genders.
Are they few and far betwene, yes. That doesn't mean it can't work. A character needs something extra, if mess it is put through is to be watchable, but going overboard like current SJW and no proper background is not it.
Until those writer blokes in Hollywood realize this, we won't get good female leads in action again. Hell, we might actually get poor male characters too!

As much as I despise women like these, I have to "defend" one aspect here. Universities sell these BS diplomas on how easily people get their first jobs after graduation. No wonder, that people then sign up for them. "Look, it guarantees a good paying job and is easier than STEM field!". I mean, who wouldn't use such an opportunity? Who would do actual research at the age, when you select your field? Vast majority of kids don't think in such way this early on in their lives.
So, I really don't think its her, or any other student, who went to a school and finishied it, being the problem. It's sverely overblown advertising Unis put out to attract clueless students, who, frankly, aren't ready to make such decision this early.

Oh I actually thnink, this is not as bad a strategy as it might seem. This maybe region specific, so take this with a pinch of salt. I know a lot of these prestigeous occupation people because of my former job. I can tell you, large portion of these people work mentally (I'm talking, lawyers, judges, accountants, CFOs, doctors), so they usually have some kind of physical hobby. Here comes the region specific part. Czechia is huge on DYI. We even produce our own version of Mecano as a toy. From a very young age, we become little engineers. Around here, if a woman had woodworking knowledge and skills, she could successfully hunt for her future husband in a DYI store, because she'd have the initial "icebreaker" subject to talk about. Say a guy were wondering, what kind of wood he needed for a project and were discussing this with someone (say a family member), she could chime in with her expertise and, either score a potential client, if the guy happens to be married, or maybe even a husband (say a recent divorcee). The key, is something you talk a lot about here on the chanel, Joker. The woman brings value to the man, in this kind of situation and can leverage it into closer contact with the man.
The scenario plays out like this: After discussing the right drillbit for the guy's table project, she asks him, whether he wants some help with it. Option A) he refuses and the girl lost some time. Option B) he accepts and the do the project together, giving her the ability to evaluate him (yep, that's a sneak 100 first date). This too has a number of outcomes. A) she finds out, they are incompatible or he is married, in which case, she may cut the romantic stick and either keep the guy as a genuine client, or leave him with no hard feelings, or B) she find's out, he's either available or that she can steal him, so she starts to get closer to him and, because she has the contact, she can initiate the entire dating process in earnest at this point, leading to some "drilling" late at night, possibley even "mutual project of larger scale".
Since this is contingent on prior knowledge or proffessional training, I aggree this would usually fail, but not for the reason of men being distracted by the actual reason they came to the store for. Rather, it is the lack of area specific expertise on the womans part, which would allow for inconspicuous initial contact to take place, causing this to fail.
