Here we have another in the long line of 'female empowerment' movies so popular with fashion-minded Hollywood these days.
Now, I think it is quite appropriate and desirable to showcase realistic female capabilities. However, I think it is getting to the point of fantasy and revisionism when we insist that 'women can do anything that men can do, but better' and try to prove that with manipulation, exaggeration and simple fiction.
So we have an example here of ALL the top air force pilots being women. Of course they are, dear. Another comical example we have is the recently released series Special Ops: Lioness, with the female protagonist physically outperforming navy seals. Of course she can, dear.
PS. I am a (realistic, I think) middle-aged woman.
