Often I find the female rangers seem to be men (maybe?) when in costume because they act and move more manly. So it's nice to see the ranger very clearly being a female when in uniform.

That was one of the things i liked about Akibaranger also was that the Blue and Yellow rangers acted very female when in uniform.

Especially Yellow acted exactly the same as when out of uniform in her civilian clothes.

Details like that where the character seems like the same person in and out of uniform is oddly important to me. And it's not easy to pull off in the these shows because the suit actors are always someone different.

I mean, when the rangers are in their costumes it's usually because they're fighting, and what's practical in a fight is pretty gender-neutral. Even if you account for things like women having on average more strength in their lower body and less in their upper, that's just the average, not something that will be true of every fighter, and even when it is true it's rarely that big a difference. So it's realistic for the women to fight more-or-less the same as the men.

With all that said, when have Sentai fights ever cared about being realistic? I like Pink's fighting too. I find when people try to make a "feminine" fighting style it usually comes out looking silly and needlessly sexual, so I'm glad they went with something that was just graceful and elegant.
