I don't even understand the question, really.

I don't know what you mean, but I do find it silly when a 100lb Harley Quinn is kicking the crap out of 200lb men with guns and riot gear. At least if you get a muscled up woman, it's more believable

Strength of character for men and women is the same. It is a basic trait of all human beings. Same with strength of purpose. However, how it gets expressed is different depending on the social and cultural situation they are in at the time.

That can relate to gender because some situations are gendered (for example, women are more likely to be in those situations).

In some movies, it is shown as muscles, aggressive etc. Eg Alien. In other movies it is shown in other ways.

Some examples:

The Color Purple

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri

Once Were Warriors

Fire by Deepa Mehta

Rabbit Proof Fence

Daughters of the Dust

Whale Rider

This is a weird question... Aggressiveness is not a side effect of being buff.

Check out the film Gravity. I would call Sandra Bullock's character strong, but she's not "manly" at all.

I don't think aggression and punching people are manly traits but ok. And I quite like muscular women, it's damn hot.

Serious answer: No, its a casting choice.

What you will see in the real world is that muscular women who arent on PEDs will be confident and likely not introverts because unless your taking testosterone, steroids or other hormone altering treatments it takes a LOT of work for a woman to look muscular and unless they are training at home are generally working out in a very male dominant environment where not taking shit off others is the norm. Shy and demure girls dont tend to gravitate to weight lifting.

I‘d go for that sneaky archer type. Works better with women imho

What is considered masculine or feminine is largely a cultural thing. It was once manly to wear skirts (kilts) and dresses (robes) and knit and sew, some places it still is.

A strong person (character trait) is someone who is willing to stand their ground for what they believe is right despite overwhelming pressure, be willing to admit it when they are wrong and flexible enough to adapt when the situation changes.

Sometimes that means you must fight and kill, but talking and listening (often seen as feminine or weak) usually gives better results.

Edit: At some point in my life I will learn to spell things correctly!!!

This is a very vague and open-ended question. Keep thinking on it and ask a more specific question to get better answers.

Masculine is the word you're looking for. It's all the same, really, just less precise. Out of biological necessity, women and men evolved different ways of handling situations. There will never be a stereotype or trait that applies to every individual of a large group, but if I ask you which is more likely to get into a bar fight, it's clear the scale tips in one direction or the other.

But regarding the movie question, no. It's cheap to make a woman physically beefy to give the idea that she's strong. There are many examples where the woman hero character is not beefy strongwoman. Movies where sword skill or martial arts are employed. There are characters of women who are strong because of their intelligence, always being one step ahead. Women characters who use their cunning wit and charm to con people. Women characters who use their compassion and stoic nature to unite opposing groups to fight a larger enemy.

You see big = strong more often because it's an easy trope. You wouldn't expect to see a movie with some lanky spaghetti armed guy kicking ass all day. At most he'd usually be the hacker sidekick for comedic effect.

The discussion around gender stereotypes, no matter how accurate, will always be a landmine, so be warned.

You are conflating strength of character with masculinity? Why?

The answer to your question is no. Women are people, men are people. I think to some extent maybe physical fitness in anyone (anyone able -bodied) correlates with persistence and impulse control, but physical and verbal aggression correlates with a lack of impulse control and lack of empathy. So negative association with strength of character, in anyone male or female or other.

Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?
