However, one may as well complain that the film wasn't also about gay rights, or animal cruelty, or the environment.
Not really. A film needn't be about womens rights or feminism in order to have women in it in roles that it's reasonable to have them in. Women are over 50% of the population, yet it doesn't strike you as a strange, conscious choice to have them be less than 20% of the total cast, and only 10% of the main characters.
By your logic about invalids, I guess the head of the janitors (who I presume was an invalid) couldn't have been female, but the doctor could have, or anyone Vincent interviewed with. Or one of the other police checking IDs. There was another woman who went to the DNA place to set up the understanding that you could take a sample of a lover from her mouth from a kiss. She and the woman at the day care are the only other women with lines that I can recall besides the Mother and the Lover, unless the voice that says "nice catch" is female.
