Look, you're separating shows into the following categories:
>action shows
>female-oriented shows
And treating them as mutually exclusive.

It's currently true that most action-oriented kid's shows are male-focused rather than female-focused. But this is a problem. Because lots of girls like action shows! It shows an appalling lack of diversity and a dearth of creativity to have shows focus almost entirely on one type of people (white, male).

Also, your argument that 'OMG, why can't people just identify with all these white dudes!' is kind of embarrassing considering that that's what most of us have to do all our lives, because that's what's available, but a) sometimes we get tired of that and b) sometimes we like to see people that represent us, instead of yet more white dudes.

Not to mention that the people that tend to whine the loudest about increasing diversity in the media because they ~can't identify~ with anyone different from them... are white dudes. White dudes have trouble identifying with women and non-white dudes. Gee, maybe that's because the unbalanced media means they never have to learn to identify with people different from them.
