Yes...which does not mean badass and feminine and mutually exclusive.

I suppose you may actually be genuine right now so I’ll say I misinterpreted what you were saying.

Personally I also like when I see tough independent dudes who cry to sad movies. Me for example whip out Frozen 2 and I'll cry guaranteed when Elsa sees her mom. But at the gym I me there lifting more each week to try and stay strong and healthy.

Dude this is what I’m talking about. There’s much more important character traits than whether or not they go along with arbitrary gender stereotypes.

I see I did correctly understand what you meant and I can confidently say you should reevaluate what you find important in characters.

No you still didnt if you brought up femininity and badass being not mutually exclusive. I never said they were.

In Star Wars it's true that we have not really seen it outside of legends or older canon. Plus she didn't come off to me as just being a girl beast, so that probably also depends on just how her character seemed to you vs me or someone else.

Stuff like this is subjective so we aren't going to agree on everything. I was hoping we were going to get more of her and go into her backstory as a trooper. Whether I disagree with what the actress thinks I was hoping to see more of Cara Dune but oh well.
