Legend
Where are you getting this from? Rey isn't "portrayed" as physically weak - she's portrayed as someone who spends her mornings spelunking in Star Destroyers for spare parts, and her afternoons doing gruelling labour cleaning and restoring those parts, all in order to earn a literal subsistence wage, in a town where people will kill you and take your stuff as soon as look at you.Also rey is a physically weak (without the force. Also that may be her grandfather's influence. He wasnt physically very strong. But he was one of the few characters faster than yoda) female (at least shes portrayed that way. Barely any muscle, small of frame like if blew in her direction shed crumple and not tall, soft looking, and female) who bests large numbers of males in physical contest practically without ever once acting so much as winded (climactic fights are exceptions. She dies get winded then. Strictly for dramatic effect but there is actually nothing particularly mary sue about that.)
If you saw that and came away with "soft, weak female", that's on you and your own prejudices, not the character.
