Indeed that's true there are too many prejudices about girls and anime. But what's funny is that the only reason I got to finish the manga(back then finding anime episodes was a hustle) because of a girl classmate who had all of them until the end of the Boo saga.
She was literally the one plugging everyone at my school when it came to Dragon Ball.
Hahaha how funny about your friend and yes well, sometimes we girls are the most hooked, after all anime has no gender, even the series that are focused for a particular audience, can also please others and if it is an anime like Dragon Ball.... Well, even faster. Greetings!
