Let's take a step back and look at the general plot of the film, which is that a group of good, perfectly sane women fight back against evil men with the aid of two crazy, but helpful men.
George Miller said himself this is a feminist film, so if that's what feminism is supposed to be, you can see why people would be put off by it. Sure, Nux's arc represents feminism's stance on solving male issues, and the interplay between Max and Furiosa showcases equal respect between a man and a woman. But why not at least have power-hungry, selfish women, etc, who are also gunning for Immortan Joe? Nope, the women are all good-natured, with their worst characteristic being they're sometimes too distrustful of men. On the other hand, all of the men are evil, while two men prove to be helpful.
That doesn't seem equal to me. Just because women haven't held the power to do terrible things, doesn't mean those women don't exist. Of course they do. And yes, a film doesn't need to meet a quota for having certain types of characters, but this is a self-proclaimed feminist film.
