I wanted to show that women are empowered and strong, and don't have to be saved by some male hero, but they can take care of themselves using their intelligence and their power.
Four More Shots' Please wanted to show a bunch of women who have agency, are fierce but not apologetic about their life.
The protagonist in 'Winter's Bone' was a really good role for a female. She was strong; she didn't have to conform to something or be a sidekick to any man. That's part of what you're responding to; it's a woman-centric situation. Her value in the film was not reliant on any man.
I'm attracted to strong female roles: females that aren't necessarily defined by their relationships with men.
Superwoman is one of those superheroes that knows her power and is very comfortable in her power.
Indeed, 'Sex and the City' highlighted the importance of female friendships, and showed the world that it was hip to be single.
Strength on its own in a woman is quite abrasive and not terribly attractive all the time.
I like strong women. I think a lot of women relate to strong characters, and a cop is still a strong character.
