This can’t be right. In most Hollywood movies I see, the small female soldiers can easily take on and defeat a muscular, 220 lb. man with karate moves.

Yeah, latest example is "Atomic Blonde," but I also saw a made for TV movie where this blonde was, for some reason, a professional body guard. She was like a toothpick. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, she's easily overpowering men 3x her size. I laughed hilariously, but it was a chick flick (romance movie) and you have to let the women have their delusions.
And they do it in slow motion in skin tight leather pants!

while applying makeup and cooking dinner for the kids at the same time...
I just saw Atomic Blonde, and I was happy that they at least tried to make it more believable by picking a woman who is 5’11”, fairly sturdy, and rarely uses her bare hands in a fight. When an anorexic model is supposed to be able to knock a guy out with a single punch, it’s silly. When an Amazon is able to bash in a guy’s shin with a hot plate, or gouge his eye out with a wine bottle opener, it is at least a bit more believable.
