Queen Penelope

[Nutz]

I just don't see Penny as actively aggressive. Nor is she some feminist icon trying to get the better of men.

I can see both sides, the kicking of nuts happened in season 5 which I consider NuPenny, who is just a drunk angry bitter person. However, she did punch Howard in the nose, which may have been funny (in the moment) but really wasn't called for since pushing him off the bed and just threatening to castrate him like when she was in Jr. Rodeo still would have been funny.

I think you should hug it out and just agree to blame TPTB for not knowing how to write a woman character without resorting to violence, alcohol, manipulation, shrewish shrieking, etc., etc.
