Some years ago, I was a member of a peer review screenwriter group and reviewed around 300 scripts (not quite the same as writing coverage of course, but I tried to be specific in my comments). What you're describing here is fairly typical of content by many of the unrepresented male writers whose work I read. (The Bechdel test was just available at that time; since then a number of tests or sets of criteria have been proposed.)
One of the biggest arguments on our discussion boards was how (for male writers) to represent the female protagonist of an action-adventure film--this seems to be a problem with current filmed scripts as well (what some writers on the boards described as a "man with tits").
But the biggest tell of inherent gender bias by a male writer was the description that introduces the character. Most of the time, a female character was described in terms that the writer would never use (even changing for gender stereotypes) for a male character (hair color, attractiveness, etc.).
