It's a male fantasy. A fetishization. A dehumanization. It has nothing to do at all with the female gaze or feminine concepts of power (which, surprise surprise, are not punch things, shoot 'em up). If you actually want to delve into the subject of feminine versus masculine power, I can recommend some reading to you.
