I don't feel threatened by a female initiating anything, if this is how she
really feels.  In fact ... I find an agressive, passionate woman to be a
rather exciting thing... especially when she decides it's time to rough you
up a bit at the end of the day ;-)

On the other hand, a totally passive woman can be something of a bore... unless
she knows how to play it just right.  It's a balance.  To much aggressivness and
she comes off like a fiend.  Too much passivity and she becomes boring.

I like a woman that can fend for herself and speaks her mind openly.  This
can save a lot of pain in the future.
