The stories about guys have been played out

So many main characters, even if bumbling idiots, are there because they are supposed to be the one the audience relates to. If those characters are never female (and they rarely are, or those that are are so perfect as to be impossible), we never really relate to a female character. We get the feeling that the female is "the other" or abnormal, even if we are female. Regardless of the portrayal, if the main characters are always male, rather than just half of the time, then the media will remain sexist.

And from now on, when a new clever movie comes out starring a guy, I will consider it cliched. If writers really want to be creative, they need to start writing about women in a recognizable, flawed way, i.e. the way we really are.
