Is that actually a very real issue, or is just another stereotype? The whole thing is so meta.

A little of both. I think it was a more common issue a few decades ago and I know it was a common theme on the internet in the 2000s now that a new generation discovers it over and over it kind of perpetuates as a stereotype but I know male writers are so much better about it today than years ago for the same reason.
