Re: Are girls getting stronger?
It might just be the case of a rare gem. They pop up from time to time and make you yearn for more.
Showbiz today is very politically correct on things like feminism. They like to present gender equality in a way that doesn’t necessarily reflect real life, even in crime drama type shows that try to reflect real life. That might explain why the other characters didn’t make a fuss about a decorated female soldier being able to beat a man in such a manner. I maintain that the late 80s through into the late 90s was the golden age of the action heroine. The big difference back then was that casting was superior - women were being chosen for roles who looked the part. Women like Brigitte Nielsen, Cory Everson, Rachel McLish, Shannon Tweed, Kathleen Kinmont, Lucy Lawless. Tall, well-built and physically imposing women that probably could handle themselves against a good number of men. Then of course during that time you also had decorated martial artists like Cynthia Rothrock, Kathy Long and Karen Shepherd doing movies. The choreography was less edited and over-stylised with all this chop-socky matrix-style blocking with frantic cuts and shaky-cam that stymie alludes to. |

Re: Are girls getting stronger?
My take.
1- Yes, women are getting stronger. Back in my day, girls working out were rare, and if they were great at sports they weren't celebrated like they are today. (they weren't really mocked, but they certainly weren't celebrated) 2- Crossfit is huge. Girls in crossfit routinely lift more than men who don't workout. Girls deadlifting 300 pounds, squatting 200 and clean and jerking 165 is pretty standard. All CF gyms have a few girls who can do that. (with of course many more men lifting way more) 3- Men vs. women fighting in TV/movies is generally pretty blah. The guy tends to be a Dante like jobber (smiling), or she beats 100 guys (unrealistic) or they pan to the guy watching and the crowd. I think they miss the mark when they don't make a fight personal. That makes it way hotter. Last edited by NewYork; 28-Feb-17 at 06:50. |

As far as societal attitudes, its definitely more accepted than when I was growing up. I still think female bodybuilders are looked down upon (which I find reprehensible), but for the most part, women that look like Jennifer Thomas are way more accepted now than in the past. I still think we need to work on the Nicole Bass' of the world whose death brought a lot of horrific comments. |

Okay, I see the confusion now. I do remember brooksie making a topic about this, but I guess Zweig merged it with Pupstar's thread.
