Everything comes down to how you see it ---- what is your slant on things .... your perspective. I see the Eowyn/Aragorn scene as this: Eowyn is being serious while Aragorn is being a bit playful and indulging her. Not for one minute, and not until this very thread, did I ever entertain the idea that Eowyn was auditioning or trying to better Argorn. I probably have seen that film at least 25 times including theater and home DVD and never saw it as anything but a cute and poignant moment between the two.

However, in the LotR world, I don't think that a woman should be allowed to 'kick butt', as it's sometimes put - particularly Aragorn's.

I have seen this film at least 25 times and truthfully never ever ever saw Jackson as suggesting that Eowyn was trying to kick the behind of Aragorn. But again, its all in perspective and everyone is entitled to their own.
