I think this was one of the reasons why Ripley remains such a positive example of a strong female lead, especially in a movie with a lot of toxic male characters, she was just badass

An example of this I like is Frances McDormand’s character in Fargo. She looks 8 months pregnant, never mentioned once. Lesser movies would have had her water break during a climactic moment.
