Let's put it this way ... no, Hollywood doesn't know how to portrait feminism right but the reason probably is that Hollywood is still dominated by males that just don't "get it".
See, Hollywood doesn't have any morals themselves, they will do and say whatever brings in the most money. Feminism has advanced enough to be recognized as something important enough to include in movies but not enough to be fully understood. So, we get the Hollywood version of feminism, much like we get the Hollywood version of everything else they do not understand. And quite frankly, they don't have to. Because their version is convincing enough for the average woman to feel excited about. In fact, their flawed version sells better than the real one, so why bother?
It's like ads for house cleaning products that show males as bumbling fools ... women feel superior when watching that, but in the end they still buy house cleaning products and do the work the men can't/won't/don't do. The "male can't stand a woman doing manly things" trope is here to stay because it sells. Yes, it's idiotic and ironic: Women that fall for this simple trick are usually those that also drool over manly men and when heroes that fight for their woman, they are typically also the type of woman that, in real life, expect the man to pay for the meal etc. But that's how the world works, we all think in cliches and don't really want to hear the truth.

"Hollywood is still dominated by males that just don't "get it""...I'll just gloss over how kinda sexist that is and say that If they didn't "get it" in the way that feminists think, they would be at least somewhat misogynists and they wouldn't be trying to "get it." Hollywood is bending over backwards to pander to the feminist minority. They just want to make money and don't care about politics...feminists do and have all the talking power. Stop acting like equality is this complex thing in application that people need Gloria Steinem to explain...who by the way is an evil piece of *beep* Feminists turn on each other in a heart beat if one disagrees each other when there is no consistent feminist clear guidelines. don't tell me about "getting it." "REAL" feminists villainize everything based on their own PERSONAL INDIVIDUAL OPINION. All the loud or even moderately vocal voices in feminism are all very sexist(against men and unknowingly against women) and extreme to the point of wanting to teach all men not to rape and discourage women from learning self defense. Just let go of feminism and your feminist leaders. They don't care about you. It really is that simple. These are selfish damaged unfortunate souls who want to control though moral posturing. It really is just uninhibited human nature reaching for power. Be an Egalitarian. THAT is what you guys mean when you refer to the word behind the definition of equality.
