I already spent a while explaining why it's distinct from WarriorPrince. It's distinct from LadyOfWar because that trope is specifically "a female fighter who retains grace and femininity," and it's distinct from IronLady because that trope is "A female non-royal leader will always appear stoic, no-nonsense, and emotionally tough." Basically, they're three different tropes and I have no idea where the claim that they're too similar to each other and are in need of being "sorted" and "discerned better" comes from.

Or why it's my job to prove that three different tropes are, in fact, different, as opposed to your or [=TBeholder=]'s job to prove that three different tropes are somehow the same. Hey, I'm gonna claim that {{Anvilicious}}, SpaceOpera, and KobayashiMario need to be sorted and discerned better because they're practically the same! Could you prove to me why I am wrong?

Anyway, I thought you already agreed that this is a distinct trope that we need, DQZ? In your comment on the 26th you said "I do support this as a trope," as long as it's noted it's a sub-trope of ActionGirl. So... really, there's only one person who thinks we shouldn't have this trope, and a whole bunch who think we should...
