Why do Americans push the 'strong, independent womyn' meme so fucking hard? When did it become a mandatory thing in American movies to have women acting like men and fighting in hand to hand combat against men and coming out on top despite being weaker and smaller? Why are you guys pretending like there are masses of untapped female Navy SEALS out there, when in your culture women can't even handle Mario rescuing princesses in video games without screaming about oppression? Seriously, what the fuck is this?

There are. The military just hasn't lowered the standard for women SEALs yet.

He usually outsmarts them, or at least struggles against them. Same with most older action movies.

This modern wave of female protagonists is exemplified by Scarlet Johansen in the Avengers, who kicks the shit out of dozens of hapless enemies without ever breaking a sweat.

I dont think its exclusive to men to be strong and fight. Thats not "acting like a man"

I know even saying something like this no matter how passive is just met with le tumblr meme or le sjw but please explain to me how it isn't sexist to say something like that is exclusive to a gender.

JEWS.

But really, it's because of Israel, and the fact that they have conscripted women in their army, it has influenced our country, and made us follow suit.

Now we have tons of female police, military, women in authority, and now add the women fighters in MMA and boxing.

It's not "women acting like men", it's just how women in the USA act now.

Because it's a live action cartoon and it looks cool? Manly Arnold action movies with single dudes surviving waves of enemies and gunfire aren't realistic either.

It's fun to watch hero characters doing impossible shit. That's literally it. There's more of a market for female action heros now because they figured out it appeals to everyone and makes bank.

Come Drink With Me (Female Swordsman Protag), Executioners from Shaolin(Pai Mei), Bells of Death( Spaghetti Western style Wuxia crossover), Game of Death (Yellow Jumpsuit), Kung Fu Tv Series (David Carradine), Navajo Joe (music), Death Rides a Horse (music), just to name a few off the top of my head.

>strong independent woman meme

You do realize that strong independent female characters exist in foreign films, right? it's not just an american thing

https://mubi.com/lists/female-action-stars-1961-1976


I prefer watching strong female characters kick ass over watching some masculine chad kick ass. what are you, a fag?
>>
>>63048662
It's only betafags complaining cause they can't self insert as the strong white male they'll never become.
>>
>>63046619
Two separate causes:

1) Lots of film makers, such as e.g. Tarantino, are weak, passive dorks who want to be the woman in a relationship and who thus fantasize about a strong woman who will do all the heavy lifting while he vegges out playing vidya.

2) The complete breakdown of community and family life in America leaves women feeling vulnerable and isolated, which causes them to masculanize on several levels. The obsession with pursuing careers, the fantasy of being able to beat up men, etc. all stem from the deep seated anxiety they feel from lacking the protection of a network of male kin.
>>
Because Americans are the only ones who realize it's nothing but a fantasy to be laughed at and entertained by in movies. Unlike yurokeks who actually elect women to be their leaders.

Women need a large network of brothers, cousins, and in-laws to feel safe and psychologically at ease. They also need to feel that their material wants will be provided for. The less secure in these things they feel, the more masculine and psychologically unstable they become. They simply aren't hardwired to provide for and protect themselves and doing so for an extended period invariably results in mental illness. This is all well documented by social scientists

The departure of a parent, particularly the father, presents the greatest potential for ongoing psychological damage in most children growing up in America. Children from these homes tend to have stunted emotional development and many, particularly males, develop a strong inferiority complex which leads to a higher rate of violence against women than men who grew up in an unfractured household.

Blame Postmodernism. Postmodernism led to undermining classical morality which led to Moral Relativism, which led to Classical Feminism, which led to Crybaby Feminism(WAAH, I'll SUE!) Which led to movie producers sensing a trend from capeshit movies, which led to La Femme Nikita, which opened the door for all this estrogen-fueled sisters-doing-it-for-themselves comix babes kicking butt onscreen. So, for all this, you can thank Jacques Derrida. Those French. they're sneaky bastards, aren't they?
which led to Crybaby

Lesbians and feminists. Also gays.

There are a lot of them in Hollywood.

We also are forced to pretend that men and women are equal in every way, when clearly they are not.
>>
>>63046619

Different context. 90-early 2000s, us burgers love a good dominatrix that can both dish it out and handle it, but at this point it's to appease the Matriarchy. Yee, turns out doms. aren't that fun IRL.

>ethics is subjective
yes, but it is also true that a deliberative body can decide collectively what is right and what is wrong for them, and that these autonomous groups can form contracts with each other to form a federal consensus on basic rights and wrongs. Tough work, but better than throwing in the towel on universal ethics.

The jews are responsible obviously. And when I say jews, I mean the eastern europeans ones who engineered WW2 so they could create israel, to bring about WW3, so they can depopulate the world to 500,000,000

Beatrix gets shot in the gut with a salt shotgun round and buried alive because her target wasn't going to play her Japanese sword-fight games. Generally speaking most action heroes male or female always get knocked around before beating a stronger foe.

Because women can be powerful, but everything is so base and one dimensional these days that the only way a moviemaker feels comfortable translating that message onto screen is if she's swinging a sword, beating up dudes, or being an ice queen

Movie ticket sales are in constant fall, so as the last resort they are pandering to women who far easier to spend their money on shit.
Men have become a lot more frugal after the recession and they are a lot more probable to pirate things to save money.

In Tarantino's case, it's just fetishization.

But movies in general are fantasies where people can live vicariously.
