I think this qualifies thanks to the scene where they first meet Tai and start talking about makeovers.

Also, Cher and Dionne are always talking about their grades and stuff like that. And also when they talk to Miss Geist to see if they can boost their grades, etc. There are quite a few scenes that qualify!

I think that it passes with flying colors. The three main characters are women, and there are multiple supporting women - Ms. Geist, Coach Stoeger, Amber, and Summer. Even when Cher, Dionne, and Tai talk about men, it's always about romance, it is not as if they are not in control of these situations either. The women are conscious thinkers and their thoughts are their own, even if its teenage melodrama. I like this movie,especially the first hour
