It's too bad that Abercrombie writes unrealistic feminist worlds, likes having protagonists that are female and somehow better fighters than men.

I feed trolls often. Everyone needs to eat.

A) It's fantasy, so culture can be whatever the author wants it to be. Women in masculine professions are not unheard of in history.
B) I know plenty of females who can, without a doubt, kick our asses.
C) Pretty sure his best fighter, on the nerd ultimate arena scale, is a man.

It isn't about culture, sadly, it's about reality. Women simply aren't built to be fighters.

And no, you don't know a single female who could kick my ass.

While some of them are married or in long-term relationships, there are more who are not.

That's nice, but I'm not looking for a date at the moment.

So which Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane looks best?

I'd say Season 1 still looks most fitting because he looks the meanest but the season 3 actor has at least the frame to be a credible "Mountain". Season 2 mountain is just not muscular and badass enough.

Season 1, he seemed to tower over the others, and had the general "angry/ruthless/hair trigger temperament" of Gregor.  If the 4th season guy wasn't smiling he might be able to pull it up though.
