The point is that it is entirely unrealistic for anyone to beat up hundreds of goons in a highly choreographed fight scene, it is pure fantasy and yet people only have trouble suspending their disbelief when the protagonist is female. Take Jackie Chan, hes a 5'6, 140lb 60+ year old man, but you will never see a comment about a movie he's in along the lines of 'Well it's just unrealistic for this little old man to beat up a room full of hardened criminals and then escape by backfllipping off a balcony". No shit it's unrealistic, it's an action movie, everyone knows it's designed for entertainment and spectacle, and yet when the star is a woman suddenly people are listing heights and weights like it's an MMA match?

The motivation for the comments about realism under every an story about action movie with female protagonists is painfully obvious and you have to be extremely disingenuous to claim they have anything to do with believability.
