Napoleonette Complex

I haz it. 
 
At least that's what some people say.  This occurred to me today specifically because of a thread here where a girl talked about how her boyfriend rages while they play video games together.  I mentioned I'd probably shut the console off on him. 
 
I have done that once.  Well, actually it was the PC.  And the hubby (we weren't married yet) was logged into Everquest at the time.  Boooooy was that a tense moment. 
 
But I was recently accused of basically having Napoleonette Complex.  I don't know that I really do.  I just don't let people think they can intimidate me because of my size.  I'm short, but not that short at 5'3" (that's 160cm for you Euros).  A newer guy friend of ours recently tried to do such a thing.  He's over six feet tall, has to duck for most of our doorways, and generally seems to be a cool guy.  But he also thinks he's hot shit.  He tried proving this one night when I was giving him crap about something.  And he walked up to me in that way that men do, and.... expected me to cower I guess?  No such luck for him.  I don't care if a guy is twice my size.  If I've got good reason, I'll take a shot at him.  After all, the bigger they are..... 
 
Does this mean I have Napoleonette Complex?  I don't think so.  I think if anything it's more of a tough-girl complex.   
 
The husband and I were talking about this the other day though, and whatever it is, it's likely to get my ass kicked one of these days.  I've had guys threaten to kick my ass, and they usually back down the second I offer to take them up on it.  But one of these days I'll end up pissing someone off and they're not going to back down when I call their bluff.  I refuse to let myself be bullied around by anyone though, no matter their size or gender. 
 
The point of all this?   /shrug   Just some more insight into me I guess.
