Anyway, thank you so much!
There are some execptions when the setting of the story means that the woman has to disguise herself as a man in order to have the chance to prove her strength, but even then it's a tricky balance between having a character who is a strong, man-like woman and a character who takes ownership of the skills she learns while in disguise.
And that's before you even get into the stories where being feminine can be a strength, or even just a normal part of a character - and not just in a "because it makes a strong character look weak and harmless to their enemies" kind of way.
