Why do you think Peggy isn't "actually" strong?
Is it because she falls in love with a man or something?

lol probably

Whyyyyyyyy would falling in love make a woman strong or not strong?

A lot of my feelings come from that scene where she sees another woman kissing Steve, refuses to communicate, points a gun at him and pulls the trigger. Inside.

You. Do. Not. Fire. Weapons. Inside.

This was the moment I was supposed to relate to this character, but it left me thinking that she's emotionally unstable. It also made me think that if any Army officer, male or female, had fired a weapon indoors at anyone then any NCO I know would've been on his or her ass in a millisecond for being too dumb to wear a uniform.

See, I DO love Peggy, and because of that, I just kind of mentally elide over that scene.

Also, let's run a scenario. Let's say there's a hero, one of those tough-guy heroes, a trained government agent who'll knock a guy on his ass for giving him lip. And he's got a crush on the heroine. He's never told her about this crush, beyond a little flirting that didn't go anywhere, but he feels pretty strongly that she's SUPPOSED to be with him. To the point that when he sees another guy kissing her, he gets really angry and storms off, refusing to listen to her explanation that the guy was kissing her without permission. In the next scene, he tests her untried armor by grabbing a loaded gun and firing it at her without warning.

Not a laugh line now, is it?

I don't think she was not-strong in that she was a weak person, but her character was flat and the scenes the script set up to showcase her as a Strong Female Character (the punching, the shooting - things others in this thread have brought up) were typical Look She's Strong Because She Can Fight And Put Men In Their Place cliches.
