My issue is that you're arguing that women in dominant action type roles are behaving in a masculine way. I'm saying there's nothing inherently masculine about an action role, we just make that association because the overwhelming majority of lead action roles are male. It's a gender stereotype. We all know "that's just how it is". The interesting thing is why is it? And should it be?
There is a divide between the masculine and male, and feminine and female. They aren't exclusive.
Get bent.
