The problem wasn't that strong female leads existed, it's that 100% of strong leads were female. The only almost-strong 'good guy' male lead in the whole trilogy was Poe and he kept getting bitch-slapped by all the female leads throughout. In contrast, almost all the 'evil villian' leads were male. The 'woke' is overcompensation to establish female dominance in the universe.
I agree Luke and Anakin were emo in the first 6, but the rest of the key males weren't. Maybe throw C-3PO in there if you want to count a droid.
At the end of "Rise of Skywalker" they threw some lesbo kissing into the 'victory celebration' scene.
