     While I understand  what Admin is saying, when I say the words "strong female leads" I meant people who fight for what they believe in either physically or mentally. I think she took it very literally. There are many strong female leads. Strong female leads to me is someone I can look up to. Someone I can model and become a better person. Now I don't model myself like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City at all, she is a strong female character because she fights for love and friends constantly. One of the weakest female leads is pretty much any Marilyn  Monroe movie where she is looking for a sugar "daddy" sure she fights for him but she doesn't fight for the right thing and how she gets him is disgusting. I do get that the saying " strong female leads" is "... vague and subjective; at worst it’s confusing and sexist..." but we can't get rid of the saying just because there is no new weak female leads.
