Hollywood is really bad at choosing good female actresses and then writing them scripts that are more than 2 dimensional. I think in some ways its actually gotten worse, now there is a push for more line equality but there isn't actually any good writing to back it up so a bunch of dudes end up writing lines for women that make no sense.
Really you need a woman to write a woman's role and a man to write a mans role. Very few people have a good enough understanding of both genders to write truly great lines and characters outside their own genders.
