Grand Theft Auto has always been heavily criticized as misogynistic and that isn't up for debate here: it's a struggle to even name many lifelike female protagonists that werent just an object to have sex with or essentially stupid outside of the feisty Catalina from GTA 3. Continuing along with my overarching point though, you should know what youre getting into when you play a GTA game. 85% of the charm is the freedom to be a total psychopath; whether its murdering someone because they cut you off on the road or picking up prostitutes for a quicky, only to murder them because you want your $10 back. Furthermore, similar to a violent Scorcese film that explores darker lifestyles, this taboo nature is what sparks interest in the story. I am NOT saying that a female protagonist couldnt work, but Rockstar seems focused on exploring lives of organized crime, which are often realistically subjected to sexist material. They shouldnt be scrutinized for depicting plots grounded in a degree of reality. And at the end of the day, if you dont like GTA dont play it.
