She's a fat, self-obsessed, entitled, spoiled, narcissistic, physically and verbally abusive pig.  Also apparently an icon of feminism in the arts.

 

Well, the fact that she's a puppet of a man that fakes her voice and mannerisms for the sake of parody and comedy is even more of a farce... 

 

But she has always been portrayed as a strong female who charms as much as bullies to always get her way (or her man), and shows when something is "too much" in a light-hearted way.

Hah that's funny I didn't think of that.

 

But I wouldn't exactly characterize someone who is clearly insecure and abusive as "strong".

That's the joke, I think, physically strong but emotionally fragile.

How about entirely obsessed with a man/frog who doesn't really like her but always comes to her rescue whenever she gets into a situation she doesn't feel like handling herself. Also, does the fact that Mrs. Piggy doesn't really have any redeeming qualities say something about...well at least about the feminism award.
