Ever since I saw Gina Carano in Haywire, I've wanted her to have more and more roles. Just seeing a female action lead that looks like she can actually do the fighting, because she *can*--I loved it. And I mean, this idea that physically strong women need to still look like twigs is so toxic. My high school roommate rowed crew, which meant she put on a lot of muscle. And she basically starved herself cause she thought she looked like the Hulk, to the point where she passed out during practice because she was not consuming enough calories for the physical activity she was doing, and just--argh! Putting on muscle is what your body is supposed to do when you row crew! Strong is beautiful!
