Can I ask a what would be a good example of sexism without sexists in films, I'm pretty sure I agree w/ you & a good example would cement it

The recent Snow White movie comes to mind. Evil Queen with abuse background, Snow incongruously & quickly accepted & adept as warrior.

So MMFR showed the variations of strength in context and Snow White showed a single minded, masculine archetype of female strength?

It's more complex than that, but at one level yes. Snow had been imprisoned for years; her physical strength alone after that didn't fit.
