No? Sarah Conor is a woman she was great in T1 and T2. But there was never some blatant feminst nonsense like "They only care about our WOMBS, because we're going give birth to the MAN who will lead Resistance." "No Dany, you don't give birth to some MAN who saves the future YOU are the future!"
It was ridiculous. My eyes almost rolled out of my skull when I heard that crap.
Spoiler:so that some brown girl, who is a terrible actress by the way, can take his place and they can rehash T1 and T2 yet was a terrible idea and the BO reflects that. It's too bad because Rev-9 was fun, Arnold and Linda were good, and the action was good, but they had to ruin it with inserting some silly political message that 99% of the world doesn't care about.

Yeah, the caring about it has been a recent thing from you guys who care about it.
No you moron, we care because Hollywood went out of their way to pander to a demographic, while trash talking the original fans, who happens to be a majority males.
No one cares that the main character in Hunger Games was a female. Why? Because every character was treated with respect.
Underworld was series with a main female lead, no one bat an eye.
Aliens
Prometheus
T1, T2, T3, T5. All of them had a strong female lead
Buffy the Vampire was a female empowered series, while at the same time treating the male cast with respect.
Xena Warrior Princess.

While I can't comment on this movie specifically (Beyond what I've seen in reviews), I will say the most common criticism of girl heroines has been a lack of "heroes journey" writing.
Contrast Thor with Captain Marvel, where the former had to overcome serious character flaws and grow as a hero, while the latter was essentially a flawless hero from the start.
In this frame, the complaints amounts to shamelessly pandering a pure power trip, at the expense of solid, classic story telling principles of trial, loss, sacrifice, and personal growth.

Why do girls tend to get the shit end of the stick here? Either their heroines are just female versions of male characters or they are over the top feminists spouting cringeworthy dialogue. Then we're all apparently supposed to pretend this isn't the case and we're called sexist if we don't.
