See here's why the identity politics approach to appeal to the SJW types makes no sense.
They want to present a strong woman...by making her look and act like a man.
Its so incredibly weird that everyone that brays about 'strong women' can't write them to save their own lives or careers. Its even weirder because
they already made Sarah Conner very strong but also very feminine.
In T1 she's very soft, very empathetic, highly feminine and needing Kyle - but as the tension ratchets she buckles down, using her strength of will to support and drive Kyle as he becomes injured. Then, when she is on her own, she finishes the job that Kyle started with the strength and drive that he helped build within her. At the end, she's pregnant, hopeful - but armed and ready, determined to protect her unborn son. Then in T2 we see that her maternal drive has seen her sacrifice herself by 'shacking up' with every dude that could teach them how to survive and offer protection. She's sacrificed herself time and time again, showing incredible strength, driven by her maternal instinct to safeguard her son. And while she's beefed up quite a bit by the time we see her in the asylum, she's still feminine - she uses her sexuality, guile, and wit to overpower, evade, and defeat the men much larger than her. That she is forced to use her relative weakness to secure guardians and is driven by her maternal desires is what makes her so appealingly feminine. While the setting is fantastic, Sarah Connor is
real - her limitations and strengths both in turn. This is why people love her, relate to her, see her come to life on the screen.
Full credit to Linda Hamilton, she portrays perfectly that indomitable will that represents feminine strength - which falls to pieces when she sees John, betrayed by the vulnerability of her overriding maternal drives. It isn't her rockin' tits or good hair that showcases her femininity, but her emotional motivation linked to her son and her relative physical vulnerability.
What does this man-looking, emotionally stunted Go-Bot offer in the space of femininity? Nothing.
