"Women in media shouldn't be limited to talking about romance" and "strong, independent women shouldn't have to abandon love altogether in order to achieve their dreams" are two arguments that can and should coexist.

One of my favourite tropes is when the heroes and villains can actually be civil and chill around each other. We all heard that one, right? I mean, it's classic Doofenshmirtz/Perry the Platypus dynamics.
But consider, women helping women between a villainess and the heroine.
Villainess: I have come to VANQUISH you, Generic Heroine—! Wait a minute. Where are you?
Heroine: *is being bothered by a creep who won't take no for an answer*
Villainess, stepping between the two: You will leave this girl alone, OR FACE MY WRATH!!!!!
*The creep leaves*
Heroine: Phew! Thanks, Villainess. That guy just wouldn't leave me alone.
Villainess: Hey, no problem. Women helping women, am I right?
Heroine: Damn right. What are you doing here anyway?
Villainess: Oh, you know. Just trying to kill you.
Heroine: Oh, right. Hehe. Figures.
