I have a female Courier. I realize that the Legion doesn't allow women to fight in the Fort's arena, so that means I can't fight the slaves, Sergeant Anderson, or Ranger Stella.

But how about all the "extra" fights for various quests? Can I fight Benny if I let him go from the Tops casino? Can I fight Lupa to get her brain? Can I fight the Antony's dogs to get Sergeant Teddy?
