Speak for yourself. I'm female, 5'2", and 115 lbs and can lift my often densely packed and quite heavy rollaboard into the overhead bin without assistance or "looking bad" (whatever that implies?? ). If I couldn't lift it, I wouldn't bring it. On many occasions, men offer (unsolicited) to get my bag down for me, which I am happy to let them do, but I ALWAYS warn them that it's heavy.
