She's most likely been cast because (1) Affleck and her have good acting chemistry and because (2) he thinks she'll work well with Kevin. These are not sexist reasons... these are good pragmatic filmmaking reasons. Ben knows Kevin, knows Kevin's sets... knows that he's gonna be the male lead, knows he works well with her as the female lead... these are good reasons to cast someone. Not some subconscious desire to belittle women... the conscious desire to have a smoothly-run production full of talent.
