It's funny, one reason I like them is kind of the opposite of why te do. My experience has been that the weak, stereotypical women fiction is often so fond of are not as commonly true to life as their high fictional representation would imply. Strength comes in many forms, and I have seen a lot of it, physical, intellectual and emotional, in women. It is also something I aim for myself, to be strong to the best of my abilities. I find stronger women in general più relatable, their reactions and priorities closer to mine, their personalities easier to like. I also like characters whose behaviour and/or skills I admire. Not to mention I feel they (when done properly) tend to be dato più depth than other fictional women which makes them più appealing to me as a viewer o reader. They aren't there to be a girlfriend, a mother, a stereotype, they are there to be a character, and are often dato più depth and respect da the writers (again, when done right). Plus, with the physical ass-kickers, they're just cool. I Amore a well choreographed fight scene, and pretty much every fight scene I consider above average features at least one woman. Not that there aren't some great ones da the guys, but that's how my favourites ended up. I also think a lot of gender roles only exist because people are raised to have them, and having strong role modelle not be bound da gender does good to help people see past what society would brand them as, through to what they really are. Basically, I think they're più entertaining, più realistic (yes, often even the Supernatural ones in terms of personalities), più relatable, più admirable and più interesting.
