My favorite is the period in the 2000s where mainstream pop culture acknowledged that women were too weak to handle a sword properly against a male opponent, so their solution was to have all the women shooting bows and arrows instead.
From Hunger Games to Keira Knightley as Guinevere to the Huntress to Alison in the MTV Teen Wolf show, there was a good 12-year period where every girl hero had a bow. Never mind that the upper body strength you need to properly shoot a bow, especially a longbow, is even greater than what you'd need to handle most swords.
While I understand the sentiment for longbow especially, it is not true of the shortbow nor compound bow. Some cultures like in Korea it has become a traditionally female sport, where they have won 9 consecutive women's gold medals.
Women should be taught like this at an early age: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1o9RGnujlkI
Milva from the Witcher books was an early example of this trope too.
