This isn't about showing you a bunch of guys hitting women. It's about showing women getting disabused of their fantasies about overpowering men. Are there edge cases where a woman could beat a man in a fight? Of course. Gina Carano in her heyday (she's gone a bit soft lately) could wipe the floor with me. But that's because I lack her training. Put Gina up against a man of similar age and level of training, and I guarantee that, ten times out of ten, she'll be defeated. Hollywood likes promoting the girl-boss action-movie fantasy, and while I don't see that as inherently evil, young ladies shouldn't take that fantasy too seriously.
