There's been a big push for intersectional feminism in pop culture, from star wars to marvel comics to games like Mass Effect Andromeda. You gotta take it with a mine of salt and try to enjoy it, otherwise you'll just get pissed off at everything coming out on anything having to do with hollywood or google.

That being said, it's not a good idea to give women the idea that they have an even slightly even chance at winning in a fist fight or a melee, no matter how skilled they are. It's why we have men and women's events at the olympics, and why we have weight classes in martial art-type sports. Putting a man against a woman is unfair, full stop, the same way putting a featherweight against a heavyweight is unfair. Problem with modern feminism in tv shows is that it does precisely this. The argument against it is, well tv shows don't have to be realistic -- except they do. When the rest of reality portrayed in the show still abides by our physical laws then so to should the females. There is just no godam way that a 120lb woman is going to take down 220lb dudes or even fight with the same amount of aggression, vigor, stamina, and umph. This is a biochemical, anatomical argument.

Women wouldn't also become leaders even if weaker. In a post apocalyptic setting everyone has gone back to 0 and is trying to get their shit together. This is going back to hunter-gatherer times where tiny tribes are fighting each other for scraps of food. Females don't emerge as leaders here in times of chaos where physical strength rules over.
