1. The woman who has to die to give the protagonist something to fight for. “I did this for you, Julia!” he screams at the moment of cinematic climax. Later he meets a different hot lady and they have children but, like, he always remembers Julia.
2. The woman who doesn't have children, but will ultimately be convinced by the end of the movie to start a family, after looking at a child for several minutes in a moment of great peril that reminds her of what really matters in life (having children).
3. The orphan. She doesn’t know where her parents are, but he’ll help her find them if she does several extremely dangerous things for him first.
4. The career woman with her hair in a razor-sharp bob, which suggests it’ll be TOUGH WORK for the male hero to seduce her, but a huge payoff when he does. Later, her hair will be shown in a softer, post-coital curl.
5. The woman who comes off as sort of vaguely incompetent, terrified, and weak, but can run for miles through thick jungle in stilettos.
6. The FBI lady. She’s the only woman in the entire bureau and she works hard, but plays harder. Her entire wardrobe consists of shiny blazers and towering heels. She’s just one of the guys, you know.
7. The backstabbing-yet-erotic red-haired Russian spy.
8. The Lady President who is really good at listening to and trusting the male protagonist, and therefore is a good Lady President.
9. The woman with short hair who the male hero has sex with, signalling that he’s actually really progressive because he’s having sex with a lady with short hair.
10. The woman who only ever gets a small, diagonal cut on her left cheek, despite being in an alien war. Her body is completely immune to pain or injury, apart from her left cheek, whose tiny, diagonal cut proves that despite being a kickass lady soldier astronaut FBI agent, she’s still vulnerable.
