The Unicorn (who becomes a human woman later in the film) and Molly Grue have a conversation about unicorns and age that has nothing to do with men.

In addition, this is a movie appropriate for children which has a female protagonist who has to fight the baddies.

And it's well written, funny, and with great music. Totally recommend.

The movie also has Mome Fortuna having a conversation with the female unicorn about identity and recognition of the true self. She also discusses immortality and her own form of mortality. Infact they discuss a third named female - the harpy Celano who takes no part in the conversation but listens intently.
There is no mention of men in this conversation at all.
