I like to watch action and adventure movies and the thing that I see and wonder most about are superhero women wearing heels in action scenes. Ok, twist or break an ankle or leg, will you just once.
Another on is when the character male or female is escaping from whomever they always run up the stairs to the top of the house or building, why? Is there a ladder to climb down or a skyline that will carry them away from danger. Mind you, seldom is there any way to escape in most of the movies I've watched. It's really predictable once they start running up the stairs. It's kill or be killed
And I don't think most women do it either. Someone (I don't recall who) did a survey/study of women in combat. I has always been assumed that since men had a "fight or flight" response, women did also. This study showed that women (most) have a "fight or hide" response. Where men tend to flee, women tend to hide in place. I some situations like what you just cited, that would be a good thing. When a position is being overrun by the enemy, not so much. The study was noted in an interview I listened to about women's safety.
