Hey, I am 5'10" and 120 pounds, but I could

Cool! I weigh more than you do! Myself, I'm 5'10" and 130 lbs (and always I
am being told to eat)- but one of the toughest women I've known is 5'4",
125 or so, and blond. And I'd want her on my side in any kind of physical
confrontation, any day. Throw those stereotypes away, y'all.
I haven't seen the movie - but if the implication is that women can't be
tough without fitting a certain body type (and that Demi Moore doesn't fit
that type; ergo, she wasn't right for the role), that seems to me to be
making some dangerous assumptions. Sure, it's handy to have weight and
muscle mass in a fight, but training, speed, and endurance can more than
tip the balance. Not to mention determination.
