This is a weird question... Aggressiveness is not a side effect of being buff.
I try to remember that not everyone on Lemmy is a westerner or an adult. OP might be from a culture thats still very patriarchal society and their only exposure to muscular women is Hollywood action movies. Angel Dust from Deadpool, Vasquez from Aliens, Rhonda Rousey in Expendables 3...
I was going for "strength of character" actually, speaking of limited. Thanks for clearing it up.
That's a weird comment. I never said it was.
In movies a strong woman is manly. (big muscles, aggressive, punches people, etc.) Is that really the way it is?
I'm confused, maybe you could try rewording your question?
Ahh, I see the issue now. Elsewhere in the thread it was pointed out.
I meant "strong character". Big willpower. Driven. Uncompromising. That kind of thing.
Not powerlifter.

I think that is the answer. :)
I'm trying to think of examples from famous recent movies with women who have that description...
From Disney:
Moana from Moana
Joy from Inside Out
Anna and Elsa from Frozen and the sequel
Mirabel from Encanto
Have you seen any of those movies? If not, what movies have you seen?
I think we're moving away from the emotionally strong woman being buff/masculine theme but originally I assume this theme was misogynistic in origin "this woman is so strong she can make it on her own - she doesn't even need a man... and since we assume a man being present is necessary for survival it's not that she doesn't need a man - it's that she's her own man! There now we have a strong female character without eroding our own preconceived gender hierarchy. Technically a woman can survive on her own - as long as she's a man!"
Honestly, you'll get this read off a lot of early female villains and in trashy movies they'll queer code her because obviously the female villain (who is functionally a man writing-wise) needs a wife of her own.
