It’s not necessarily about her having a va**na, more about her being more emotional, her being physically smaller, her evidently not being brave enough to at least try and protect the person she’s meant to, and cowering behind him, leaving his back fully open if the shooter had decided to shoot, if the shooter was still alive. (Thank god for the secret service members who needed to make sure the man on a roof with an assault rifle was serious about trying to shoot him, had to let him get 3 shots off first, but they got him in the end right?)
