I'm not going to go so far as to say "women and PoC can never do anything, ever"... but I just cannot buy that a society would exist without prejudice. Sexism and racism is human, and every society has had its own types of prejudice.

What I find annoying is the same type of 1950's sexism copypasted into every fantasy culture, because historically speaking, sexism hasn't always been the same. Like, there was a time when women were considered more sexual and men were the pure ones. So I think yeah, you need to think about how you portray prejudice, but I'm not going to ever buy into a completely equal society.

For example, I really enjoy the webcomic "Unsounded," but I find it mysteriously and oddly egalitarian. There's fantastical racism going on versus various magical creatures, but nobody seems to even comment about women or blacks or anything or even notice that their skin is a different colour. I feel like the setting needs to explain that sort of thing - why are these peoples' skins different colours, what are the backgrounds of these ethnic groups? Why is there no racism? Why is sexism nonexistent? What's the social background of this world?

I do feel these things have to be justified in the narrative, and a lot of the time, they aren't. I guess what I'm trying to say is, the setting has to make sense.
