Thanks for the serious answer.
Now that I have your serious attention.
What characterizes feminine strength?
I’m assuming that it’s different from masculine strength.

Serious answer: No, its a casting choice.
What you will see in the real world is that muscular women who arent on PEDs will be confident and likely not introverts because unless your taking testosterone, steroids or other hormone altering treatments it takes a LOT of work for a woman to look muscular and unless they are training at home are generally working out in a very male dominant environment where not taking shit off others is the norm. Shy and demure girls dont tend to gravitate to weight lifting.

…why?

Because reality has a gender bias.
But in seriousness, because it is different. Think of a motherly figure. Think about what they do, how they do it, what makes them motherly. Compassionate, deeply caring, nurturing, protecting their children at the risk of their own life, always, no matter what. Now, of course there are some men that fit that description, but by and large we think of a female figure. You will see this in most primates. If there was no evolutionary driver to create differences, then there wouldn’t be male and female. Of course there are some exceptions to the rule.
There’s a reason she’s called mother nature. She’s the creator, the nurturer, the beauty and the soul.
I realize that some likely may not agree with me about this, and I’m always happy to hear a different point of view.

Of course there are gender differences. Even the “most woke” of people will acknowledge this as for, for example, gender identity to work there needs to be something to identify with (or to not identify with I suppose).
But we aren’t speaking about differences in general, we’re talking about one specific trait - ‘strength of character’ - which is not one that is feminine or masculine. A man can show strength of character by standing for their beliefs in a fight or by raising their child against societal odds or by dealing with a traumatic situation in a way that ensures better outcomes than otherwise. But so can a woman? A woman does not become manly despite showing strength of character. One’s gender and presentation and aesthetic doesn’t influence their strength of character. I mean, we’ve all seen Legally Blonde right?

Consider the movie “Legally Blonde”.
Is that in the vicinity?
