Its how they do the female leads. They still have to be "hot," of course. And in order to be "strong?" Well obviously masculinity is the strong gender, and OBVIOUSLY masculinity is toxic. So a "strong female character" is either just toxic masculinity with a pretty face pasted on, or a beige parody of stoicism.
