you want to target a subset of "regular humans" as your audience, then consulting (or being in) that subset definitely seems like something that can help you do that.

Consulting is what should be done by any respectable director/writer to flesh out areas they don't have intimate knowledge. Being a woman only helps avoid consulting on female-specific issues but creates the need to consult on male-specific issues, so it's redundant.

When it comes to targeting an audience, I think it's pretty stupid to aim at grils or buoys like that's a notable factor in their interests. A story is very rarely about being a man or woman and typically they're complete garbage. Anything else is just stereotyping men and women unnecessarily, shrinking the potential audience significantly.

We don't need bigots who discriminate against groups who don't fit in to neat little boxes. You can make an action film without using women as sexualised plot devices and you can make rom-coms that don't paint men as ignorant pigs who becomes decent when they see a Mary Sue.
