I think that in the earlier years Penny found that in that original group of five she essentially was the butch one. It didn't mean that she was mean or aggressive, but that she knew how to deal with confrontation better than the guys did. Alas, that Penny probably doesn't exist anymore because she has been forced through her relationship with a weenie like Leonard to be more demure than he is.
