Oh man, I hate that. A "strong" female character doesn't have to be physically strong. The "strength" comes in how she's written.

I find characters that have weaknesses & flaws and well-rounded personalities and hidden depths to be much more interesting than any generic action-movie "badass".

Give me female characters that are morally gray, that have to make difficult decisions, that wrestle with their own demons, that overcome (or maybe succumb). Give me female villains that are genuinely terrifying, and not "vampy seductress" or "creepy ghost girl". Give me female characters that are heroic, and tragic, and INTERESTING.

None of this cardboard crap.

I'm always reminded of this image from the "big three" of manga at the time in such discussions.

(I'm aware Nami has fanservice out the wazoo, but as the image alludes to, you can honestly say the crew would be fucked without her. Take Saukra or Orihime out of the situation and you'd, Oh, I dunno, lose one filler battle/need a new plot device)
