Nearly every Hollywood blockbuster and many TV shows, not to mention commercials, features a girl -- superhero or otherwise -- who achieves heroic status by being an expert fighter, beating up men.
What a bizarre meme.
Even stories like Superman, while unrealistic insofar as no boy could grow up to be as strong as Superman, laid out virtues that young men should aspire to: honesty, physical strength, courage.
Why should any woman aspire to be physically strong in combat? Even looked at in the most generous light, what is this good for? If women prioritize their physical strength, they will just get beat down in every aspect of their lives.
