>His arc is resolving this fear and realizing he can't keep running Only movie who did this perfectly was A Quiet Place, where the woman was still strong but mostly protective egalitarianism doesn't have to mean retardation unless your trying to push retarded imagery (which they have been doing since wolfenstein 2 and god know how much longer)

let the non pregnant women fight and stay behind to protect the elderly and the babies.

Yeah but one slip and it's your baby that dies, not you. >ruin your perfect neolithic culture by developing agriculture

I don't think this trope started with The Matrix, but Trinity insisting on accompanying Neo back in to save Morpheus is a prominent example of it, sort of setting a norm in conventional action movies. The children are constantly abandoning their posts, the women insist on joining the fray, etc. He doesn't argue (he's learned a long time ago not to argue with her). Tonowari o correctly insists that the very pregnant Ronal should stay behind and not join the battle, but Ronal insists on coming along. The whole franchise sort of pushes conventional gender 'egalitarianism', which honestly isn't that bad compared to the nonsense that's cropped up over the past decade or so. Like Ronal, Neytiri probably doesn't let her pregnancy stop her from doing things. >sigourney has never seen a camera or lived through the 2000s on earth
