"Fighting physical perfection"?
Now when you're mocked for these kind of comments it is supposedly the result of male chauvinism and misplaced nostalgia.
No one CLOSE to being a real fighter could maintain the average superhero physique coupled with the displays of speed and stamina that routinely take place.
You have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy heroic fiction and the same is called for with the "Idealized" presentation of heroines in comics.
