Question Was the "Charlie's Angels" movie from 2000 oddly misogynistic

Misogynistic in the sense that for a supposed "girl power" action movie, all of the women are practically portrayed as ditzy, boy-crazy fetish objects. And all they seemingly do is put on skimpy costumes, get into terribly choreographed and unconvincing fights, and talk about boys like teenage girls at a slumber party. Basically, it's like a 13 year old boy's idea of what a strong female character looks like, don't you agree?

What are the biggest creative mistakes that were made during the production of the film Charlie's Angels (2000)?

What movies and/or real world events most directly caused or influenced a shift away from the type of campy, hyper-sexualized "girl power" escapism and unironic sex-as-power style that was seen in the film Charlie's Angels (2000) with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu, which in itself, also popularized a campy, empowering blend of action, comedy, and female camaraderie that challenged traditional gender roles and inspired subsequent waves of women-centered cinema?

How exactly did female led movies change or evolve since the release of Charlie's Angels (2000) with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu? For example, did they either become darker or more serious (e.g. The Hunger Games), have more of a self-deprecating irony (e.g. the works of Amy Schumer like Trainwreck), and/or have a more genuine sense of conflict and drama (e.g. Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids)?

What other movies like Charlie's Angels (2000) with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu from around the same time period (i.e. the turn of the millennium, late 1990s-early 2000s, and/or the Y2K era) had a similar tone and style. That specifically, being something with a campy, hyper-sexualized "girl power" escapism and unironic sex-as-power style.
