To me a real Vixen is driven by values such as responsibility, justice, honor, courage, compassion, humility, integrity, and selflessness, which pretty much disqualifies most every self-proclaimed badass out there. A Vixen is someone who gets the job done; whether it be the jobs that "only men do"— for example, women who work construction, mechanics, electrician or maybe even the stay-at-home mom.
A Vixen does what needs to be done, no matter how difficult it is, without complaint or need for fanfare. A badass doesn't take the path of least resistance. A Vixen is someone who stands up for the weak and oppressed, speaks the truth, and calls out those who lie, cheat, and steal. A Vixen is someone who takes a "hit for the team," meaning puts others' needs ahead of their own, a mother working two jobs to give her children a better life, or a powerhouse CEO who cares more about her employees than her P&L statement during an economic crisis. let's recognize each other!
