@seanny "alls you need is a kickboxing women." I always see it as they only see validity in women being men. By their own portrayals if women are shown being strong in traditionally feminine ways its shown as weak or undesirable.
Same thing we see when they race swap a character. By their own actions theyre saying the only credibility is found in white characters. Everytime i see it i think...yeah a white person wrote this/demanded this. Its the great white hope insidiously burrowing its way in via tokenism. Its beyond condescending.
The kickboxing woman trope is exactly the same. Women are only valid if they fullfill male roles. Dominance through force etc. There's a sexism baked into the fabric of their feminist ambitions that should be insulting to anyone actually thinking these things through.
Its lazy, hacky and borish... and people fucking love it.
