A better example from Cameron's own filmography would be Ripley from Aliens, a female character that embodied the traits of female motherhood and the guns-blazing male action hero. Instead of having Ripley sacrifice her female qualities, she was able to hold onto them while also displaying typical male traits and embody a progressive female character. The scene where he's holding Newt in one hand while holding a gun in the other is the perfect visual representation of this.

Sarah Conner from T2 is just repeating what Cameron had already done instead of progressing the female character another step. What he's shaming Wonder Woman for is exactly what he did in his very own example.
