I meant that as most men really love the idea of a "kick *** " female. In books. But when it comes down to one in real life, they feal that their manhood is threatend.

I remember another feamle warrior. In Americas relovutionary war there was an American woman who cut her hair and dressed up like a man. When the army found out she didnt meat a nice end.

Another is Bodicia<--spelling? of the Celts. She lead her men against the Romans in England. She was able to lead her men. And had some overwhelming victories. Until her army was crushed and she was captured [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
