It was very nice to see Owen Grady, a strong male who was always in control of the situation, act as the main protagonist. I hope to see much more of him in the sequels. Where are men bing depicted as weak, or dismissed? Most movies still have male protagonists, and that's fine by me. But there's absolutely nothing wrong either with having a conpetent, confident female protagonist like Claire (who, by the way, Colin Trevorrow has stated is the film's main protagonist) kicking butt or making decisions.

I think what you percieve as women becoming more promenent in poop culture is actually the disappearance of the male power fantasy, which is something that's been present in action movies since time immamorial and makes male viewers think "hey, that could be be. I could be that badass". But now it's time for women to be allowed to experience that same thing, too. And I think Jurassic World is a good example of the being done to perfection.
