Fucking Hollywood has been pushing these movies for decades where the women are military leaders and just go around kicking men's asses left and right. It's pathetically unrealistic. You can't even find an action or scifi film anymore where the men don't get their balls busted 24/7 by some stupid fucking woman unless you go back to films made in the 1950's & 60's.
Ironically some of these unrealistic films accurately portray how the women become nags, emotionally unstable, and bitchy. Pretty much destroying any sense of brotherhood or comradery amongst the men. Pretty much what they have done to society, just bitched and destabilized everything. They're like the feminist chaperones who have to show up to ruin everyone's party.
they've ramped up the strong military type hero womyn in the last 2 years in movies. men would have been clearly better for the role. instead they got the womyn flopping around like a spyder monkey to take down a guy that Jean Claude would have trouble with.
I don't even watch movies with women as the lead characters
At least men knew at a primal level that "muh khaleesi" was a farce in Terminator Genisys.
Yea it's funny because I've heard stories of women seeing these movies and going out and trying some shit on their boyfriend or friends, only to report how fucking easily-overpowered they were. Shit I'm forever casually tightening lids without even thinking and my wife is always coming to me to open them because she can't. It's actually gotten to the point that I'll just back them off a skosh, especially if I'm sending a thermos to daycare.
She came to my workout one day, and she couldn't, with two legs, lift the leg extension weight that I was doing for a single leg. And of course at the gym it's rare to see even a strong girl bench > 135 lbs, which most guys rep or even warm up with.
There was a lot of make believe in the Avengers movies but Black Widow as an effective melee fist-fighter was peak disbelief.

This reminds me that we really need a sequel to Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. That was a 2003 movie in which there was no female character, it was perhaps the last of the "bro" films. The only woman in the whole film was a Brazilian whore and she has no dialogue and maybe 30 seconds of screentime.
But 50s and 60s Boomer media is some of the best because it is openly anti-feminist.
Tragically, Clint Eastwood would usher in some feminism in the 70s, and even our boy Mad Mel had to pretend to find an "action babe" to be hot in Lethal Weapon 3.
To me it is all about how the female heroine is portrayed. Females can be strong without having to be physically strong. Physical strength is not a feminine attribute and it is wrong to portray them like that. What happened to just making a caring loving mother type that needs to protect her family. Lots of ways to use weapons like firearms or out thinking a protagonist without forcing some unrealistic masculine ideals on her.

We'd have to go back to early 60s-or-before media to find examples of that, or some later John Wayne movies.
Most everything else has been shades of Atomic Blonde or Peppermint, a complete farce.
