I wouldn't be able to beat you up or build you a half-pipe, but I could rebuild Windows on your computer. And then I could sew you some fuzzy pajamas.
Oh, and when you work at a toy store the Barbie aisle is THE most feared aisle of the entire store. Not only is there an ungodly amount of pink, but it's also the most trashed aisle.
I do find that I do not like female heroes who are built to be so badass that it almost comes across as phoney. The best example I can think of is Mara Jade from Star Wars. I can't STAND her, yet I know a lot of female SW fans who look up to her as a female role model.
