Mad Max Fury Road was pretty explicitly feminist in the end. It was feminist in the most superficial way imaginable but it was acknowledged by George Miller. It being so superficial is why the pre-release backlash was so overblown.

In what way would you characterize it as being superficial?

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's an insincere production. Mad Max: Fury Road seemed very heartfelt to me and to most professional film critics!

Superficial means surface level. It doesn't have anything particularly insightful to say on the subject in modern discourse. It could have counted as an intelectual breakthrough at least for the film medium in the 30s. And I love Fury Road.
