"countless characters portrayed by middle-aged male actors are romantically paired with much younger women while you almost never see the reverse; etc."
I don't see what the age difference has to do with anything and I honestly can't remember many movies pairing old men with much younger women. American Beauty comes to mind, if that one counts.

"Because it’s not “meaningless” that this keeps happening to women."

What keeps happening to women? Are we talking about female characters in movies? Actors?

Honestly, I was convinced that the main problem with movies in recent years was that the monetary success of certain titles, limits the chances of unrelated ideas getting the required funding to be made into a film. It's all about sequels and big franchises to satisfy the larger audience. It's not like only men go out to watch movies, do you think producers would willingly ignore the chance to reach 50% of the population if they are able to pay?
