Men are not used to watching female protagonists become truly empowered in any way outside of another male character saving the day.

Not completely, because there are movies and games where only woman is doing everything without man, but there is always one "but". And this "but" is - that woman is always acting like man, she fight with bare hand, showing heroic physical strenght, killing people left and right, very agressive, sometimes she even have men gait (as, obviously, almost all of those movies and games are directed by men). And other "but" is if those women are sexualized over the top (any japanese movie/game, or older Lara Croft games).
