Also, I agree that women who can\\\'t \\\'\\\'always\\\'\\\' save themselves feel more realistic to me. I don\\\'t mind if she can fight, but seeing someone who can always RoundhouseKick their way out of \\\'\\\'anything\\\'\\\' (even a loaded machine gun and a [[GloriousMotherRussia Soviet soldier]] and his AngryGuardDog that is more likely [[BearsAreBadNews a small bear]]), and have her UselessBoyfriend show up once the fight is over just to ask \\\"What happened?\\\", it becomes ridiculous.
