Why do males complain about female-led stories or too many female characters when the majority are still dominated by males?

I didn't complain about females whatsoever.
I complain about complainers.

Because men run entertainment, we can make sure men are making it. Because men are making it, their Mary sue stories are the ones that get released.
That’s how it happens, in my opinion, but I don’t get how more men aren’t completely fucking bored looking at it and listening to it! Seriously, as a middle aged, acerbic, bearded white man, I’m sick of seeing characters that only I can relate to. It’s not a compelling character anymore. I want different characters with different stories!

I'd argue the difference is that when people say "females", it's usually in a vague sexual context- and that term includes girls and teenage women
-
Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for explaining it better!

No problem, it’s one of the best things I’ve seen on the internet in a while.

it just comes across as bitchy and not assertive
The problem is men get way more leeway than women in this regard. Their voice, their demeanor, the way they dress, everything must perfectly match whatever the dude is expecting or “it’s not believable.“ Male characters are rarely as scrutinized.

Honestly, ask a few woman how they feel about the usage and go by what they say. A bunch of men/boys discussing this have no skin in that game.

Inherent sexism in society to control people into doing what the dominant majority of society wants (which got there by force and enslaving and manipulation of the "lesser" people)
