I have a similar reaction to this whenever I hear people bitching about how THERE ARE NO THINGS WITH GOOD FEMALE CHARACTERS OMG.

Have y'all been living under a rock since the 1950s? Ever heard of BtVS, Xena, or Sailor Moon? Or ANY magical girl manga/anime? What about MLP, Orange is the New Black, or that show with all the clones? Heck, for all people bitch about comics and their portrayal of women, the X-Men cast has a LOT of interesting, badass, well-rounded female characters. Then there's Wonder Woman, Batwoman, She-Hulk, etc., and that's not even getting into all the non-superhero comics with female protagonists.

There's plenty of stuff out there, and it's not that hard to find. You just need to step out of your Superwhoteenwolfhannibaltumblrlock bubble for a moment.

The first three canons you mentioned are from the 90s, and it's just there's more stuff with sexist crap than there are with balanced casts or women as leads.

Those shows do get attention, but when you look at movies, there are still more men than women. Outside of fandom, mainstream stuff is important, too. Indie stuff is good but for the average non fandom person we should have more movies with female leads instead of the limit we have.

This. Remember how 2013 was "filled" with great female-led movies? Remember how it also turned out there were considerably fewer female-led movies in 2013 than in previous years?

Buffy and Xena are fantastic, sure. But they're still just drops in the bucket of The Same Old Shit.

I agree. A lot of popular/'mainstream' shows are more male-driven, but there really is interesting media (shows, books, movies...) that exists (and, yes, stuff that's recent too) with good female central characters. But. You know. No one bothers to look for it because it's easier to complain.
