re: Can women be "badass"?

The only time I've been inspired by the resolve of a woman as a leader of men (and women), was when my wife was dying after giving birth to our twins: There was a female, Asian anesthesiologist who came in and took over for the nurse getting my wife ready for emergency surgery.

She was a bad arse. I would go to war for that woman.

That's the only time. The fact of the matter is that the overwhelmingly majority of heterosexual males do not fear, nor are inspired by the average female. It's a 10,000 year old (at best) biological thing, and there's no denying that's the case. I love my momma, I used to fear my momma as a child, but I NEVER put her in the same category as if complaints went to upper management (i.e., dad). My son and every one before and after him are the same. There's nothing in a female that, physically, "strikes fear" into the heart of a male whereby he says, "she's a badass motherfricker."

I would think being a Blues Pilot would qualify her as a badass.
