Thanx... You hit it exactly on the head.
Boiled down to a telegram, that's the perfect analysis.

I have to agree with Redlava. Considering Joss's history of strong women, I think we just have to consider that she's strong in her own right. Yea, she's a little hepless at times and you just want to cover her up and protect her, but she has her moments.

In looking for strength, I think we shouldn't be focusing on physical strength (as compared to Zoe or River) or natural talent (Kaylee's engine gift) because both say nothing about strength of character.

About Kaylee's character, I say that she is strong enough not to be a weak woman, but not strong enough to be a strong woman. Yet. If that makes sense.

I do think, had the show gone on, Kaylee would have become an amazingly strong woman. Just as soon as she learned to trust her own ability to take care of herself.

Her journey was still every bit about growing up as River's.

And let's not forget, the entire crew is afraid of Kaylee's wrath.

...since when?

Kaylee is strong, no question about it. No, not in the conventional way, like Zoe or River or even Inara- boo.
Still, to keep on smiling after all the go-se she's been through-that takes a strength that mst don't have. She will get up and keep on- sure, she may resist and not like it, but the fact is that she WILL, which most folk are too regimented and scared to do.

Having fun yet?

The one aimed straight for your Heart;
I wanna meet the wolves halfway,
And let them Tear me APART,
But that's not the way they do it here...
