Once upon a time, you'd get a scene with a women beating on some peons, or getting in a decent shot at the big bad before getting shut down. And I could suspend disbelief because hey, maybe she's exceptional.
But now every single woman has to be as strong as the strongest men. It's dumb. And it's gotten to the point that I can't even tolerate the exception anymore.
If I see a woman beat a man in a physical contest, I'm out.
I appreciate it in a setting where it makes sense, like the Dungeons and Dragons movie that came out last year.
Rodriguez being super strong is ok because she's a Barb class and Barbs fuck shit up and muscle it out. She's always been a typecast for strong bad bitch too so it wasn't out of the blue for the actress and the role she got.
The girl boss is the only type of female character that is allowed now
That's why I can't stand it anymore.

Guy doesn't expect the women is a martial arts expert, gets beat up a bit from being off guard, gets mad, and smacks her around like rag doll.
That's how it used to be and was totally believable.
