I'm not defending the Netflix materials. This director is a female director, and she has spoken about the intent of the movie. It's critical of the environment the girls find themselves in.

To shit all over this female director's work and demand that her movie be taken down when no one has even seen it, that's exactly what cancel culture tries to do to GC. They see something they don't like and the immediate reaction is an attempt to ban it. Just like how they didn't even read what J.K. Rowling wrote before they started shrieking about how evil and hateful she is.

This director is a feminist, and this is obviously a GC sentiment about internalized misogyny that she's expressing:

“Cuties” director Maïmouna Doucouré says her film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last Thursday, mirrors her experience as a young girl, when she wanted to be a boy because of the “injustices” towards women she saw around her.

“I was born in France, I grew up there and this movie is about a lot of traditions I saw when I was young, because when I was a child, my dream was to be a boy,” Doucouré told TheWrap’s Sharon Waxman at the festival. “I didn’t want to be a girl because of a lot of injustices I saw around me. Because of that, I was praying [to] God at 6, 7 years old to make me a boy. I saw that the world could be better and easier as a guy.”

She added, “I grew up in both cultures — my parents are from Senegal and I also have the Western culture. I was often torn between both as a woman. Today, I’m fine, I am happy to be a girl of course, but we have a fight to change the mentality of people about the place of women in society, and the movie is about how to become a woman in our society because it’s a bit complicated.”
