re: The whole women in power movement in movies. Let me tell you the truth.

Ripley should be the model for female characters in action movies. Instead, there is this need to downgrade and/or replace men. I'm sorry, but unless you are a superhero, a well trained 120 lbs female is still going to get her arse handed to her by a 180 lbs Joe.

The example I always use is from high school. We had a student who was state powerlifting champion for girls heavyweight. She was a good 200 lbs. She worked out with the football team because none of the other girls could keep up with her. When she came in, she would work with the weakest group of players, backup DBs and such.
