I can understand being dubious of his speed in general, or noting the seeming incongruity between words and actions as a way of reconciling their various interactions (or simply the bulk of his history), but acting as though the story itself didn't treat her as being at a disadvantage strikes me as being just a little bit disingenuous, and ultimately that is what I feel we should be looking at first before moving on to broader generalizations.
