Here’s the rub on the “role model” for that young woman. It is a false narrative — the female in real life may be able to outtalk/outgun/outsmart a man, but we will never be able to compete on any level of one-on-one physicality. Letting the female heroine character show the male “hero” who is boss only happens if the guy lets her do it. He could deck her in a heart beat if he so chooses. These Amazon-like characters in the military movies and the action movies are being drawn by Leftie Feminists (both female and male) fantasizing about how we really should be not as we are. This gives young females a false sense of their own true strengths.
yep. When the Navy Tailhook scandal broke my wife said,, “The women couldn’t defend themselves at a cocktail party but politicians think they can defend the USA?”

Well, *SPOILER ALERT*, it wasn’t about competing on a physical level. The film just showed her besting Max at one specific task, that a women realistically could best a man at, if she put in the proper practice. There’s nothing really unrealistic about it.
It wasn’t a fight between them either, so there was no “he let her win” to speak of. A task needed to be done, Max failed to do it, and she succeeded. Both of them needed the task to be done, so the only competition was indirect, they weren’t really facing off against each other.
