Is the uptick in self-proclaimed strong women a result of women's natural drive to be strong, or some sort of recent societal/social incentives?

Or more simply put, do women naturally like being strong or are they being socially pressured to be or appear to be strong?

Women naturally want to be strong.

Recent social dynamics have pushed women to be strong.

This is probably a silly example but using a modern pop-culture example, in Ariana Grande's new video, her (presumable love interest) is playing one of those claw machines to get her a teddybear as she watches. Why wasn't she depicting herself being strong and capable and getting it herself. Why is he the one providing for her? What about this situation does she prefer over her providing for herself and taking matters into her own hands?

i dont think most women want to be 'strong' exactly, they just want to be independent & free to live how they like which isn't the same. as to why that is i think it's both nature and society

Feminist propaganda is the reason and there is a strong woman and leader but most are nacasisct who are greedy and selfish bosses who are so terrible to every one but Thier special few angels.

It's a pretty human desire to wanna be "strong" or independent. That's never not been the case, lol.

any human would want to be strong

stop making it about gender

I know humans who like to be delicate and provided for. An abundance, frankly. And if anything, 'I'm' not making it about gender, societally it has always been a out gender.

You can be of the opinion it shouldn't be about gender and that's entirely valid, but me posing this question did not suddenly make something that wasn't about gender now about gender.

Historically, women were seen as more delicate, something to be protected. I can assure you it was not me time traveling hundreds of years ago to facilitate this perspective.
