Its not that she doesn't have a point. It's just that using today's social moires to disqualify works that became people's favorites yesterday is fairly futile. There's no need to try and convince people that past things they loved are unworthy in order to bring about a change. Sff is already changing. Be happy. There's something for everyone.
And for what it's worth: I had many an all-male, completely unsexist adventure when I was a lad. Tallying up characters' genders in books is silly. Lack or inclusion of one gender is not, in and of itself, a reliable indicator of "sexism." So leave it out of any bechdel test.
